2015 Map of Lorimor South

About this map

Lorimor and Thayer anchor the northern and southern reaches of this landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve through the central Iowa terrain. This survey reveals a dense network of family and community history preserved in rural burial grounds, including the Brown Family Cem and Mount Pisgah Cem. The drainage patterns of Wolf Cr and Thompson River define the local topography, while the smaller settlements of Monette and Talmage mark the transport corridors of the early 21st century. High-resolution elevation data illustrates the intricate relationship between the agricultural plateaus and the deep-cut valleys of Fourmile Cr and Twomile Cr. For those researching local lineages, the distribution of names like Beulah Cem and Claypool Cem provides specific geographic markers of past generations.
