Cumming and Churchville anchor this 2018 survey of the rural landscape south of the Des Moines metro area. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Badger Cr and the N River, which cut through the agricultural sections of Madison and Warren counties. Local history and genealogy are centered on several religious landmarks, including Saint Johns Cem near the northern border and Saint Patricks Cem situated near the river bottomlands. Further south, Calvary Cem sits on the edge of Churchville, reflecting the long-established communities of this region. Notable infrastructure includes the Cunningham Bridge crossing Cedar Cr, alongside a network of county roads like Co Rd G14 that facilitate the agricultural economy of these prairie townships.
