About this map

Antique Airfield serves as a distinct landmark in this rural landscape north of the Wapello and Davis County line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek systems including Village Creek, Little Soap Creek, and Brush Creek, which carve through the Iowa countryside. This area is notably rich in small, dispersed burial grounds that speak to the long-standing agricultural community. Researchers will find numerous family-named sites such as Wellman Cem, Abegg Cem, and Denton Cem situated along the section lines and rural routes like Bluegrass Road and County Highway H47. The map illustrates how local transportation remains tied to the grid of gravel and paved roads, connecting historic landmarks like Mount Zion Cem and Hopewell Cem across the township lines of t72n r15w and t71n r15w.
