About this map

Le Roy sits near the southern edge of this landscape where the boundaries of Decatur, Wayne, Lucas, and Clarke counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Chariton River and its tributaries, including Chariton Cr and Brush Cr, which carve through the agricultural uplands. Small rural settlements like Smyrna and Last Chance serve as local anchors, each preserved alongside their respective namesake burial grounds, Smyrna Cem and Last Chance Cem.

Tracing historical movement through the region, the Morman Trl (also labeled as Mormon Trl) cuts across the central sections, marking a significant pioneer corridor. Genealogists will find several family and community landmarks, such as Blair Cem and Gwinn Cem, while the southeast corner is notable for the Humeston Reservoir. The map captures a quiet interior of Iowa where township lines like t71n r24w and section grids dictate the placement of local roads such as Watrous Ave and Co Rd J12.
