About this map

Clio and the southwestern edge of Allerton anchor this survey of southern Wayne County, Iowa, reflecting a landscape defined by the precision of the Public Land Survey System and its intersection with natural drainages. The area is marked by a network of waterways including the S Fork Chariton River and the West and Middle Forks of Medicine Creek, which carve modest valleys through the agrarian grid.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved within these sections, including Clio Cem, Higley Cem, Hazel Dell Cem, and Greenridge Cem. The road network, with named thoroughfares like Kirkwood and Jubilee, reveals the enduring structure of rural life in this part of the state, where small settlements serve as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads and creek valleys.
