2018 Map of Lorimor South

About this map

Lorimor and Thayer anchor this portion of southern Iowa, where the headwaters of several creeks carve into the prairie landscape. The area is defined by its agricultural grid and a high density of small burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Notable sites include the Brown Family Cem and the Mount Pisgah Cem, alongside several others like Beulah Cem and West Union Cem. The Thompson River winds through the western half of the map, joined by numerous tributaries such as Wolf Cr and Threemile Cr. Near the southern boundary, Thayer Lake serves as a local water feature adjacent to the small settlement of Thayer. The map also captures the smaller locales of Monette and Talmage, providing a precise record of rural habitation and the primary transportation corridors including Old Hwy 34 and the Clarke-Union Ave boundary line.
