About this map

Kimballton serves as the primary hub in this late-1970s landscape, situated where the rolling uplands of Audubon Co and Shelby Co meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including the West Nishnabotna River in the northwest and Indian Creek to the south. Small rural communities and intersections like Poplar, Fiscus, and Anderson are scattered across the townships of Polk, Douglas, Jackson, and Sharon.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several landmark burial grounds and congregations that anchored these agricultural communities, including Merrills Grove Cem, Immanuel Cem, and the Ebenezer Ch and Ebenezer Cem. Near the northern border, a Sandpit and the Edwards County Park reflect the local economy and recreational spaces, while a prominent Radio Tower marks the skyline near the southern settlement of Kimballton.
