2012 Map of Kilwinning

About this map

Lister Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery sit within the rural northern reaches of Scotland County, marking a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the South Wyaconda River and North Fabius River. This 2012 survey documents the agricultural character and scattered small settlements of the Missouri-Iowa border region, including the rural crossroads of Kilwinning and Hitt. The distribution of civic and family landmarks, such as Pleasant Hill Community Hall and Four Corners Community Hall, indicates a community structure centered on localized gathering points and small-scale creek systems like Brush Creek and Carter Creek. This era of the landscape is characterized by a grid of local roads, such as Pike Blvd and Quinine Ave, which connect long-established family burial grounds including Cone Cemetery and Kilwinning Cemetery.
