About this map

Kendallville sits along a winding bend of the Upper Iowa River in this northeastern Howard County landscape. The survey documents a rural Iowa farming region characterized by a high density of local burial grounds, including the Saint Kierans Cemetery and Fremont Cemetery to the north, and the Eddy Cemetery and Barnes Cemetery further south. These family and community sites, such as the Ferkindstad Farm Cemetery, offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early settlement patterns in the area.

The terrain is defined by numerous watercourses feeding the river system, including Bigalks Creek, Minor Creek, and Mullens Creek. To the southwest, the northern outskirts of Cresco are visible near Oak Lawn Cemetery, while the village of Morgan and the small settlement of Osbourne anchor the western and central reaches. Notable natural features like Black Falls on Silver Creek provide specific landmarks within the grid of county roads that organize this agricultural heartland.
