USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Blakesburg and the surrounding farm country of southern Iowa are defined by a complex network of stream valleys and agricultural boundaries during the late 1960s. The township lines of Mantua, Urbana, and Union intersect at a triple-county corner where Monroe, Wapello, and Appanoose counties meet. This geography created a localized community identity anchored by several rural burying grounds, including Caldwell Cem, Eslinger Cem, and Sales Cem, which serve as vital markers for local family history.
