2022 Map of Cairo

About this map

Cairo sits at the heart of this Louia County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding drainages of Long Creek and Johnny Cr. This 2022 survey captures a rural Iowa township defined by its family and community burial grounds, revealing a dense network of local history through sites like Grim Cem, Slaughter Cem, and Virginia Grove Cem. To the northeast, the Iowa River valley creates a distinct riparian environment featuring Schlitzing Lake and the mouth of Indian Cr. The map preserves the exact alignment of established county routes such as Co RD g62 and Co RD x37, which connect the scattered homesteads and legacy landmarks of the region. The proximity of Oakland Cem and Marshall Cem further emphasizes the deep-rooted settlement patterns that have persisted along these section lines.
