2015 Map of Lineville

About this map

Lineville and South Lineville straddle the state border between Iowa and Missouri, forming a unique twin-settlement character at the intersection of Decatur, Wayne, and Mercer counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Weldon River and its numerous tributaries, including Mineral Springs Br and Sand Cr. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain deeply tied to local family history, evidenced by the high density of small burial grounds such as Gatliff Cem, Yingling Cem, and Hollers Cem tucked away among the hills. Further south, the community of Mercer anchors the Missouri side of the quadrangle, with Lions Community Park Lake providing a local recreational landmark. The map detail highlights a transition from the prominent Cedar Ridge in the north to the more intricate creek valleys that feed into Caleb Cr and Collier Br.
