2015 Map of LaMoille

About this map

Lamoille and the surrounding rural landscapes of Marshall County are defined by a network of creeks and small settlements tied to the land's agricultural rhythm. The terrain is marked by notable elevations such as Mormon Ridge to the north, overlooking Minerva Creek and its tributary Little Minerva Br. This 2015 survey reveals a significant concentration of small, denominational, and civic burial grounds, including the Hartland Friends Cem, Hixite Cem, and the County Home Cem. These sites, along with the settlement at Marietta and the smaller community of Moningers, provide essential data points for understanding the nineteenth-century Quaker influence and social history of the region. The Iowa River cuts through the northeastern corner, while Linn Cr winds across the southern half, illustrating the hydrologic system that once supported early settlement and transportation routes like Marshalltown Blvd.
