2014 Map of Blockton SE

About this map

The Middle Fork Grand River and E Fork Grand River carve through the agricultural landscape along the border of Iowa and Missouri. This 2014 survey captures the rural character of northern Worth County and southern Ringgold County, where the topography is defined by numerous drainage systems including Fiddlers Cr, Fletchall Cr, and Lotts Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for its documentation of family and community burial sites. Five distinct cemeteries are scattered across the landscape, including Middle Fork Cemetery, Hickory Grove Cemetery, Clark-Allen Cemetery, Crim Cemetery, and Douglas Cemetery. The map also depicts the local water management through Marlow Lake and the established network of county roads and trails like State Line Rd and 110th Rd that facilitate movement between these rural communities.
