2015 Map of Knoxville SW

About this map

The agricultural landscape southwest of Knoxville is defined by the winding course of White Breast Creek and its many tributaries, including Butcher Cr and Hawk Run. This area in Marion County shows a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Wren Cem, Shire Cem, and Lincoln Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Iowa. The small settlement of Donnelley sits near the crossing of the creek, while the Marysville Bridge provides a notable landmark on the eastern edge of the survey area near the city limits. The terrain is a complex network of sections and township lines, including t76n r20w and t75n r21w, illustrating the classic Midwestern grid system adapted to the drainage patterns of English Cr and Tracey Cr.
