About this map

Glenwood serves as the primary hub in this southwest Iowa landscape, situated where the loess hills meet the fertile plains of Mills County. The town's grid is dense with residential streets such as N Hazel St and S Locust St, centered around the municipal core. Beyond the city limits, the terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Keg Creek and Waubonsie Cr, which cut through the undulating hills. Smaller rail-adjacent communities like Silver City, Balfour, and Hillsdale appear as vital local nodes within the agricultural grid.

Genealogists will find this 2015 survey particularly valuable for its density of burial sites. Beyond the prominent Glenwood Cem and Silver City Cem, the map identifies smaller or specialized locations including the State Cem, the County Farm Cem, and the uniquely named Somar Family on Wright Farm Cem. These features, alongside named rural thoroughfares like Epperson Ave and Jaggar Rd, allow for precise mapping of historical family tracts and community origins.
