About this map

The Iowa River meanders through this portion of Johnson County, creating a landscape defined by its oxbows and floodplains. To the north, the town of Lone Tree serves as a central hub, anchored by the Lone Tree Post Office and the nearby Lone Tree Cemetery. The river's influence is evident in the surrounding terrain, notably at Graveyard Point and near large water bodies like Long Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Big Lake.

Genealogists will find this area particularly significant due to the dense concentration of burial sites scattered across the rural landscape. From the River Junction Cemetery near the settlement of River Junction to family plots and church yards like the Smith Family Cemetery, Swank Church Cemetery, and Saint Pauls Cemetery, the map preserves the locations of early community centers. The grid of country roads, including Co RD g26, connects these historic points of interest across the fertile plains east of the river.
