2021 Map of Kilwinning

About this map

The N Fork Fabius River and S Wyaconda River shape the rural landscape along the border of Iowa and Missouri. This area, spanning Scotland and Schuyler counties in Missouri and Davis County in Iowa, is defined by its small farming communities and a network of gravel roads. The settlement of Kilwinning serves as a central point in the southern half of the quadrangle, while Hitt anchors the eastern edge. Local genealogy is deeply etched into the land through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Lister Cem, Barker Cem, and the Kilwinning Cem. The topography is a complex system of drainage, with smaller tributaries like Carter Cr, Brush Cr, and Pony Cr carving through the agricultural sections. The presence of Sacred Heart Cem and Cone Cem further highlights the long-established rural parishes that have occupied these borderlands for generations.
