About this map

Coburg and Climax anchor this 2018 study of the southwestern Iowa agricultural landscape, where the East Nishnabotna River meanders through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents the rural infrastructure across the Montgomery Co Page Co line, tracing a dense network of township roads such as Co Hwy H38 and Co Hwy H54 that connect isolated farmsteads.

Genealogical interest is found in the three distinct burial grounds spaced across the township: Walnut Cem in the west, Salem Cem to the north, and Franklin Cem positioned near the county boundary. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Walnut Creek and Crabapple Cr, which carve through the loess hills of the Missouri River watershed. Landmarks like Mormon Br along the river suggest the enduring presence of local crossings and place-names in this corner of Montgomery and Page counties.
