About this map

Kellerton sits at the heart of this Southern Iowa landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding townships in Ringgold County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward flow of Lotts Cr and the winding paths of Kuder Cr and Tuckers Cr. These drainages carve a distinct topography that has long influenced the placement of local roads and farmsteads.

Genealogists will find a cluster of historical burial grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Woodland Cem, Merritt Cem, and Lewis Cem. Along the eastern boundary, Decatur-Ringgold Ave follows the county line, connecting the rural communities. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, from the residential blocks of Kellerton near Maple Row Cem to the sprawling agricultural tracts defined by the Public Land Survey System sections.
