2018 Map of Lacelle

About this map

Leslie serves as a central landmark within this portion of Southern Iowa, situated along the north-south highway corridor that bisects the landscape. This area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Wolf Cr and Chariton Cr, which define the drainage patterns across the rural terrain. The mapping reflects the agricultural grid of Clarke and Decatur counties, where section lines are strictly maintained by roads like Garden St and Doyle St. Genealogy researchers will find value in the placement of Lacelle Cem and Green Bay Cem, which provide specific points of reference for local families. The southern boundary line between Clarke Co and Decatur Co marks a transition in township jurisdictions, while the various branches of Hoosier Cr and S White Breast Cr highlight the region's complex hydrology.
