2010 Map of Medora

About this map

Liberty Center and Medora anchor this rural landscape in Warren County, where the topography is defined by the branching tributaries of Otter Creek and Squaw Creek. The area maintains a distributed network of small settlements including Cool, Sharon, and Lawrenceburg, connected by a grid of named routes such as Roosevelt St and Co Rd G76. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle, ranging from Schaver Cemetery in the north to Bethel Chapel Cemetery in the south. The drainage patterns of Skinaway Creek and Turkery Creek illustrate the natural erosion of the Iowa prairie, while the road naming conventions reflect both presidential history and local geography.
