About this map

The Iowa River meanders across the northern half of this Iowa County landscape, creating a wide floodplain of wetlands and tributaries like Buckeye Cr and Willow Brook. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Ladora sits along a major corridor between Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Cr, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural section lines. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by its watercourses and a high density of rural burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research in the region.

Established family and community history is preserved at sites such as Dayton Cem, Sayers Cem, and Maple Tree Cem. Further north, the small community of Koszta is noted alongside the Koszta Cem. The presence of the Seventh Day Adventist Church Cem and the Kitchen Cem underscores the diverse denominational and familial roots planted in these townships, while roads like 212th Blvd and Co Hwy V52 connect these disparate rural landmarks.
