2015 Map of Macksburg

About this map

Macksburg sits at the heart of this rural landscape, positioned where several county roads converge in a region defined by its creek-fed hills and agricultural heritage. The Thompson River winds through the central and southern portions of the territory, joined by tributaries like N Fork Clanton Cr and Loefler Cr. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents numerous family and community burial sites scattered across the township lines of Madison, Adair, and Union counties. These include the Kivett Cem in the north, Moon Cem and Boone Cem near the town center, and the Dodge Center Cem to the south. The land is organized by a grid of rural lanes with evocative names such as Applewood Ave and Bittersweet Ave, reflecting the enduring farmstead patterns of south-central Iowa.
