About this map

Iowa and Missouri meet along this section of the border, where the rural landscapes of Page County and Taylor County, Iowa, transition into Nodaway County, Missouri. The small settlement of Siam anchors the northern edge of the map, surrounded by a dense network of country roads like County Highway J55 and State Highway JJ. The drainage patterns are defined by several waterways, including Buchanan Creek, Wolf Creek, and the winding South Fork of Clear Creek.

Family and local history are preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across these hills, including Shearer Cemetery, Burch Cemetery, and Hazel Dell Cemetery. The terrain is marked by the presence of Blackford Lake and the unique Sink Creek, illustrating the natural water management of this agricultural borderland. This survey provides a clear view of the property divisions and road networks that have structured this multi-county region for generations.
