About this map

Danville and Middletown anchor this southeastern Iowa landscape, where the agricultural grid of Des Moines County meets the winding course of the Skunk River. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial sites, including the Old Danville Cem, Jaggar Cem, and the secluded Lee Burial Plot near the river bluffs. These locations, along with the Long Creek Methodist Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in a region defined by its deep-rooted farming heritage.

Transportation patterns are dominated by the corridor between Danville and Middletown, while smaller settlements like Augusta and South Augusta occupy the southern river valley. The transition from the flat uplands near Mccoy Airport to the dissected terrain surrounding Deeds Cr and Long Cr illustrates how the local topography dictated early road placement and settlement patterns, with Denmark situated just across the Lee County line.
