About this map

The Vermillion River carves a winding path through this agricultural landscape in Turner County, defining the local drainage and topography. This area is characterized by a high concentration of pioneer and community burial grounds, including Frieling Cem and Melhus Cem in the north, and Mount Zion Cem and Riverview Cem further south. These sites offer significant value for genealogists and local historians tracing families in Centerville Township. The hydrology of the region is managed through natural and engineered features such as Mears Ditch and several creeks including Turkey Ridge Cr, Long Cr, and Saddle Cr. The rigid grid of section-line roads, such as 290th St and 465th Ave, imposes a human order over the serpentine river valley.
