About this map

The Thompson River defines the western corridor of this Decatur County landscape, winding south past Terre Haute toward the southern boundary. This 2018 survey detail shows a network of rural communities including Decatur City to the northwest, Davis City to the south, and a portion of Leon in the northeast corner. The map is particularly notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Waller Cem, Palestine Cem, and Manchester Cem, which provide significant points of interest for local history and genealogical research.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by the north-south passage of Interstate 35, which contrasts with the older local road network including Old US Hwy 69 and the winding Mcgruder Creek Rd. Small tributaries like McGruder Cr, Potteroff Cr, and Britton Br thread through the township sections, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped agricultural land use in this part of Iowa for generations.
