About this map

The Des Moines River and its major tributaries, the Middle River and South River, dominate the drainage patterns of this Warren and Polk County landscape. In this contemporary topography, the city of Carlisle occupies the northwestern corner, while the small community of Hartford serves as a hub in the northeast, marked by its grid of local streets including W Elm St and N Vine St.

Genealogists can trace several community burial grounds across the area, including Carlisle Cem, Hartford Cem, and the more secluded Black Cem near Elk Horn St. The settlement of Palmyra is situated centrally along Co Rd S23, characterized by its own Palmyra Cem. The map illustrates a transition from the broad river valleys to the dissected uplands carved by smaller streams like Butcher Cr and Turkey Cr.
