2015 Map of Lost Nation

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River winds through the southern reaches of this eastern Iowa landscape, framing a rural community centered on the towns of Lost Nation and Toronto. The map documents a structured agricultural grid defined by local routes such as Co HWY y32 and Route 136, which connects the various farmstead clusters. Notable for genealogists and local historians, this survey identifies several burial grounds that mark the heritage of the area, including Smithtown Cem, Busch Cem, and Rose Hill Cem near the banks of the river. The settlement of Lost Nation appears as a key crossroads, with its residential streets like Western St and Broadway St providing a clear view of the town's footprint. Further north, Elwood Cr cuts through the undulating fields, while Sacred Heart Cem and Rustic Park Cem stand as landmarks in the township of t83n r1e.
