About this map

London sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Freeborn County, anchored by the London Post Office. The township layout is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including Mower-Freeborn Rd and County Hwy 34, which connect scattered farmsteads and rural landmarks. For those studying local lineage, the sheet is notably rich in burial sites, documenting the Kennevan Family Cemetery, Cedar City Cemetery, London Cemetery, Woodbury Cemetery, and Deer Creek Cemetery.

Waterways like the Cedar River and Woodbury Creek break the geometric precision of the fields, while the William Engle Landing Strip provides a small aviation footprint in the south. The distribution of these family-named cemeteries and the central village cluster reflects a long-established rural community organized around both the land and its primary drainage systems, including Orchard Creek and Mud Lake Creek.
