The agricultural heart of southern Iowa is mapped here, focusing on the rural townships between Osceola and the border of Clarke and Decatur counties. This modern survey illustrates a landscape deeply rooted in its section-line road network, where small settlements like Lacelle and Leslie anchor the surrounding farmsteads. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the headwaters of Chariton Cr and Wolf Cr, which carve through the undulating prairie.
