About this map

The Turkey River meanders through this portion of northeast Iowa, carving a distinct valley that defines the local landscape near Elgin. This 2010 survey highlights a rural environment where land use is dictated by the winding path of the river and its tributaries, including Sand Creek and Deer Creek. The settlement of Gunder sits in the northeast, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community.

A high density of family and denominational burial grounds suggests a deeply rooted local history. Genealogists can locate several sites such as the Highland Lutheran Cemetery, Marion Lutheran Cemetery, and East Clermont Lutheran Cemetery. Other smaller sites like Houg Cemetery, Mork Cemetery, and Cook Cemetery are scattered across the township, often situated near established farm roads like Gunder Rd and Agate Rd. The presence of the Apostolic Cemetery further illustrates the religious diversity and settlement patterns of this corner of Fayette County.
