Isabella and surrounding small settlements like Burger Town and Johnsonville populate the hills of Polk County in the early twenty-first century. This landscape is shaped by industrial history, evidenced by features such as the London Mills Tailings Pond Dam and the City Services Retention Dam along Burra Burra Creek. The map records a dense network of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Bethlehem Cemetery and Neal Chapel Cemetery, which offer valuable points of interest for genealogists tracking local roots. High points like Shinbone Mountain and Stansbury Mountain rise above the drainage basins of North Potato Creek and South Shoal Creek. In the northeast, the religious park Fields of the Wood sits near Liberty, marking a distinctive cultural landmark in the Appalachian foothills.
