About this map

Grant and Lyman anchor this southwestern Iowa landscape where the borders of Cass, Montgomery, and Adams counties converge. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of the West Nodaway River and W Nodaway River, which are fed by numerous small tributaries including Sevenmile Cr, Threemile Cr, and Williams Cr. This area maintains a strong connection to its pioneer and family history, evidenced by the high density of rural burial grounds scattered across the townships.

Genealogists will find several distinct cemeteries such as Old East Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and the Douglas Township Cem. The road network, comprising routes like Co HWY g66 and Victoria Rd, follows the traditional section lines of the Public Land Survey System. Further landmarks like Newtons Grove Cem and Noble Center Cem provide specific points of reference for tracing 19th and 20th-century family origins in these agricultural communities.
