About this map

Medora and Liberty Center sit within a landscape defined by the rolling creek drainage systems of south-central Iowa. This survey captures the rural character of Squaw Township where several established cemeteries, including Smith Cem and Liberty Center Cem, serve as critical markers for local genealogical research. The terrain is partitioned by several major waterways, most notably Squaw Cr in the northwest and the winding paths of Skinaway Cr and Otter Cr to the south.

The presence of the Bethel Chapel Cem near the southern border with Clarke County highlights the community centers that once anchored these agricultural districts. Unlike many maps dominated by large urban centers, this area maintains its late-twentieth-century rural grid, with long stretches of roads like Co RD g76 and Wyoming ST connecting the disparate settlements of Cool and its neighbors across the Warren, Lucas, and Clarke county lines.
