Red Haw Lake occupies the northeastern corner of this Southern Iowa landscape, where the Chariton River and its tributaries define the undulating terrain of the Lucas Co and Wayne Co border. The map reveals a persistent rural structure marked by small, scattered settlements such as Watrous and Vale, connected by a grid of section-line roads like Co Rd H50 and Co Rd S23. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the townships, including Douglass Cem, Salem Cem, and Sharon Cem. The southern reach of the survey is punctuated by the Moore Private Airport near the headwaters of Lost Br, illustrating the integration of modern transit into a traditional agricultural landscape defined by Wolf Cr and Sugar Cr.
