About this map

The Upper Iowa River winds across the southern reaches of this landscape, just north of the border between Minnesota and Iowa. In this agricultural corner of Fillmore County, the city of Harmony serves as a primary hub, intersected by a network of roads including Co HWY 22 and 120th ST. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites that document the area's pioneer heritage, such as Greenfield Cem, Rice Cem, and the State Line Methodist Cem sitting right against the boundary line.

Smaller settlements and named locales like Big Spring, Hutton, and Daisy Valley are spread throughout the townships, connected by numerous creeks including Camp Cr and Partridge Cr. The terrain is characterized by these drainage systems, which have carved distinct valleys into the plains. Genealogists will find particular value in the distinct labeling of the Old Big Spring Cem and Big Spring Cem, reflecting the early community centers that formed around these water sources.
