About this map

Ottumwa anchors the southwestern edge of this Wapello County landscape, where the urban grid gives way to a network of creeks and small farming communities. To the east, the settlement of Agency sits near Coon Cr, while to the north, Highland Center and Farson mark the rural upland. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage system including Wolf Cr, Cedar Cr, and Little Cedar Cr, which carve through the till plains.

Genealogists will find an exceptional number of family and community burial grounds documented here, such as Garrison Rock Cem, Kitterman Cem, and Nasby Corner Cem. The area near Dahlonega shows a concentration of local history markers, including Dahlonega Cem and Angle Rd. This late-2010s survey captures the contemporary footprint of these long-established Iowa townships, from the residential development at Loch Burns to the quiet crossroads of Bladensburg Cem.
