About this map

The town of Milton serves as the focal point of this southeastern Iowa landscape, situated along the county line where Davis and Van Buren Counties meet. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its rural heritage, where a high density of burial grounds like the Amish Mennonite Church Cem and Sunnyside Cem reflects the long-standing community ties of the area. To the north, the small settlement of Troy sits near Hickory Creek, while the broader drainage basin of the Fox River and Little Fox River carves a network across the farmland.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community landmarks recorded here, including Richardson Cem, Pansy Hill Cem, and Stookesberry Cem. The grid of gravel roads, such as Wheat Ave and Yukon Ave, provides a detailed framework for tracing local properties and old homesteads. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the winding courses of Billups Br and the N Wyaconda River, highlighting the transition into the more dissected creek beds typical of the borderlands.
