2011 Map of Ionia

About this map

Ionia anchors the southern reaches of this landscape where the prairie meets the complex drainage systems of central Missouri. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of South Flat Creek and Henry Creek, which move through a grid of rural routes named for local families and landmarks. Significant for genealogical research, the area contains several established burial grounds including the Point Pleasant Cemetery near the crossroads of Manila, the Methodist Cemetery to the west, and the Christian Cemetery north of Ionia.
