About this map

Libertyville sits at the heart of this Jefferson County landscape, serving as a focal point for a network of rural roads such as Co Hwy V64 and Libertyville Rd. The area is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, which offer significant genealogical value, including Smith Cem, McCleary Cem, and Brethren Cem to the north, and Fell Cem, Winsett Cem, and Bethel Cem further south. These sites often indicate the locations of early pioneer settlements and family homesteads.

The terrain is carved by a complex drainage system, with Cedar Creek and Lick Creek winding through the countryside alongside their tributaries like E Br Lick Cr and Little Lick Cr. In the southern portion, the map captures the transition across the Jefferson Co / Van Buren Co line, where the landscape descends into Spahn Hollow. The grid of section lines and range identifiers, such as t71n r10w, underscores the systematic land division of the Iowa prairie.
