2018 Map of Lamoni North

About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape north of Lamoni is defined by a dense network of country roads and small family cemeteries that trace the settlement patterns of Decatur County. Multiple burial grounds, including Millsap Cem, Cash Cem, and the Woodmansee Cem, are tucked away near the headwaters of Elk Creek and West Elk Creek. These small sites suggest a history of decentralized rural communities that once thrived along the creek bottoms before modern consolidation. To the east, the Thompson River meanders toward the Grand River Bridge, while the southern edge of the survey captures the northern expansion of Lamoni, anchored by the Lamoni Municipal Airport and the recreational waters of Home Lake and Home Pond. This modern survey provides a detailed view of the section lines and rural infrastructure that continue to shape the land long after the original homesteading era.
