2018 Map of Glenwood

About this map

Glenwood serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, characterized by the winding paths of Keg Creek and Waubonsie Cr through the loess hills of Mills County. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, identifying several small burial grounds such as the Somar Family on Wright Farm Cem and the County Farm Cem. The settlement pattern follows a grid of county roads, with smaller communities like Silver City to the north and the hamlets of Hillsdale and Balfour punctuating the agricultural terrain. The presence of the State Cem and Glenwood Cem within the seat of Glenwood highlights the area's long-established local history and institutional roots. Waterways like Silver Creek define the eastern boundaries of this prairie-land survey, showing how the natural drainage shaped the placement of early townships and rail corridors.
