About this map

Kalona and the nearby village of Richmond are the primary settlements in this section of Washington County, Iowa. The landscape is defined by the meandering course of the English River, which is flanked by the Lily Pond marshlands and multiple tributaries including Camp Cr and Bulgers Run. The agricultural nature of the region is evident in the grid of rural roads such as Poplar Blvd and Nutmeg Ave, which connect the scattered homesteads and community sites.

Genealogists will find this 2018 data particularly valuable for its density of burial grounds. Significant sites such as Sharon Hill Cem, Middleburg Cem, and Grand Prairie Cem are documented alongside the Holy Trinity Cem near Richmond. These features, along with the detailed waterway data for Davis Cr and N Fork Long Cr, provide a comprehensive look at the intersection of early settlement patterns and modern land use in the heart of rural Iowa.
