About this map

The borderlands between Iowa and Missouri are defined by a network of rural townships and family burial grounds in this detailed topographical study. The tiny settlement of Siam anchors the northern edge of the map, located just south of the Siam Cem near the intersection of the Page Co and Taylor Co lines. This landscape is shaped by the drainage patterns of several tributaries, including Buchanan Cr, Clear Cr, and Wolf Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain. Genealogists will find a high density of rural cemeteries scattered across the sections, such as Hazel Dell Cem and Morehouse Cem in Missouri, and the Shearer Cem and Burch Cem in Iowa. These sites, along with landmarks like Blackford Lake, provide a clear record of local settlement patterns and family heritage in the region.
