About this map

Danville and Middletown anchor the northern reaches of this Des Moines County landscape, where the BNSF Railway corridor parallels Old Highway 34. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Cedar Cr and Long Creek, which wind through agricultural fields and wooded draws before meeting the Skunk River at the southern boundary. This river valley marks the transition into Lee County, passing the small communities of Augusta and South Augusta.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered across the townships, reflecting over a century of local family settlement. These range from established sites like the Old Danville Cem and Augusta Cem to smaller, isolated locations such as the Lee Burial Plot, Woodmansee Cem, and Renner Farm Cem. The map provides a clear picture of modern rural infrastructure overlaying older patterns of habitation along the river and rail lines.
