About this map

Antique Airfield serves as a unique aeronautical landmark in the northwest portion of this rural Iowa landscape, set amongst a complex network of streams and family burial grounds. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of Little Soap Cr, Village Creek, and Brush Creek, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Soap Creek Road. Genealogy researchers will find a high density of small cemeteries scattered across the townships, including Mount Zion Cemetery, Hopewell Cemetery, and Wellman Cemetery. The southern edge of the survey captures the border between Wapello and Davis Counties, where the landscape transitions toward the winding Coon Creek valley. This map documents the persistent agricultural and commemorative layout of the region, where section lines and creek beds define the boundaries of local life.
