2022 Map of Gilmore City SW

Local history is preserved in several small rural burial grounds that dot the landscape, including Saint Patricks Cem and Lizard Cem in the north, and Saint Josephs Cem to the southeast. These sites, along with Jackson Center Cem, serve as the primary landmarks for genealogists tracing family roots in this intersection of Iowa counties. The terrain is further shaped by the South Branch Lizard Creek and its smaller tributaries, which break the otherwise rigid geometry of the county roads.
