2022 Map of Farson

About this map

Highland Center and Farson anchor the northern landscape of this Wapello County region, where the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Cedar Creek and its various tributaries. The settlement pattern follows a grid of local roads and highways, including Co HWY h17 and Co HWY h25, connecting small residential clusters and rural homesteads. The southern edge of the survey reaches the outskirts of Ottumwa, transitioning into the community of Agency. For local historians, the map is particularly notable for its density of burial sites. Numerous family and community landmarks are documented throughout the townships, including McCormick Cem, Dahlonega Cem, Kitterman Cem, and Bladensburg Cem. These features, alongside named locations like Loch Burns and the prominent Round Point terrain, illustrate the mid-20th-century development of this agricultural and residential corridor in southeast Iowa.
