About this map

Fremont sits at the junction of several rural routes in southeastern Iowa, serving as a central point where Mahaska, Keokuk, and Wapello counties meet. This 2015 topographic study reveals a landscape defined by agricultural section lines and the winding paths of Cedar Cr and Spring Cr. The town plan is oriented around Railroad St, a reminder of the corridor that once drove local commerce.

Genealogists will find several burial sites documented throughout the township, including the Cedar Township Memorial Cem and the smaller, outlying Helm Cem and Ford Cem. To the south, the settlement of Kirkville is noted near the Thompson Grave. The presence of the Oskaloosa Municipal Airport in the northwest corner highlights the modernization of transport in this traditionally agrarian region, while numerous creek branches like Olive Br and Mattix Br continue to shape the drainage patterns of the local fields.
