2015 Map of Holbrook

About this map

The settlement of Parnell and the surrounding township lines of Iowa, Keokuk, and Washington Counties are captured in this 2015 survey. This section of southeastern Iowa is defined by its deep genealogical roots, visible through a high density of rural burial grounds such as Saint Josephs Cem, Ricord Cem, and Champion Hill Cem. The landscape is carved by the Old Mans Creek drainage in the north and the English River and its tributary South English River to the south. These waterways dictate the winding paths of county roads like Co HWY f52 and Co HWY w18, which connect the small community of Holbrook to the broader agricultural grid. The map's detailed topography reveals the low-lying wetlands of Deer Creek and Teener Cr, providing a clear picture of the region's drainage patterns and historical land divisions.
