About this map

Lone Tree and River Junction serve as the primary anchors of this eastern Iowa landscape, situated where the Iowa River meanders through a dense network of wetlands and oxbows. The river's influence is evident in the presence of Big Lake and Long Lake to the southeast, alongside several smaller drainages like Otter Cr and Prairie Cr. This 2022 survey captures a high concentration of small family and local burial grounds, providing an exceptional resource for genealogical research.

Notable sites such as Smith Family Cem, Knight Cem, and Graveyard Point Cem are scattered across the rural sections, often situated near historic crossroads. The map also delineates the transition between Johnson Co and Louisa Co, particularly where the river corridor widens. Distinctive terrain features like Graveyard Point overlook the riparian bottomlands, illustrating the relationship between the elevated agricultural plateaus and the flood-prone river valley.
