About this map

Lake Mills and the smaller settlement of Scarville anchor this northern Iowa landscape just south of the Minnesota border. The topography is defined by the winding course of Lime Creek, which meanders from the northwest down toward the sprawling waters of Rice Lake in the southeast. This map reveals a high concentration of burial sites that reflect the area's pioneer heritage, including Synod Cemetery, Immanuel Cemetery, and the Center Synod Cemetery further south.

Infrastructure in 2010 shows a grid of rural avenues and streets, such as County Hwy-A14 and Hwy-105, connecting these farming communities. Notable local landmarks include the Lake Mills Municipal Airport and the Hogsback Marsh Public Hunting Area, providing a look at land use ranging from modern aviation to preserved natural marshland. For researchers, the presence of multiple legacy sites like Salem Memorial Cemetery and the Scarville Post Office offers clear points of interest for tracing local family history.
