2015 Map of Farson

About this map

Highland Center and Farson anchor the northern landscape of this Wapello County region, where a dense network of country roads defines the rural character of southeastern Iowa. The topography is intricately carved by several waterways, including Cedar Cr and Little Cedar Cr, which snake through the townships of T73N and T72N. Genealogy and local history are exceptionally well-documented here through a series of family and community burial grounds such as McCormick Cem, Nasby Corner Cem, and Garrison Rock Cem. To the southwest, the edge of Ottumwa begins to appear near Loch Burns and the Sugar Cr drainage. This survey provides a precise look at the transition between established farming communities like Dahlonega and the outskirts of the larger urban hub, with notable landmarks like Round Point Cem and Sterner Cem marking the quiet intersections of this agricultural heartland.
