About this map

The East Nishnabotna River snakes through the eastern portion of this Montgomery County landscape, defining the local geography alongside several significant tributaries like Mormon Branch and Ramp Creek. Small rural settlements such as Coburg and Climax serve as the primary hubs for this agricultural area, which is organized by a rigid grid of roads including Evergreen Ave and Boxelder Ave.

Genealogists will find notable value in the documented locations of several burial grounds, including Salem Cemetery, Walnut Cemetery, and Franklin Cemetery, which provide clues to the region's early families. The southern boundary is marked by Montgomery-Page St, indicating the border between two counties. This survey reflects a quintessential Iowa landscape where drainage patterns like Walnut Creek and Crabapple Creek dictate the placement of farms and small hamlets across the fertile river valley.
