About this map

Lake Red Rock dominates the central landscape of this Marion County corridor, where the Des Moines River meanders through expansive wetlands and floodplains. The small settlement of Dunreath sits just north of the water, a focal point for local history alongside several family and community burial grounds that dot the surrounding uplands. These sites, including Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Hughes Cemetery, and Dunreath Cemetery, provide critical anchors for genealogical research in this rural township. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries like Wildcat Creek, Prairie Creek, and North Wildcat Creek that drain into the reservoir. South of the river, the landscape transitions into a grid of agricultural roads, including Co Hwy G40 and Co Hwy S45, which connect isolated farmsteads and smaller landmarks such as Burch Cemetery and Schirey Cemetery.
