About this map

The settlement of Mineola sits at the intersection of agricultural tradition and modern infrastructure, located where the Wabash railroad corridor crosses Keg Creek. This 1994 revision reflects the landscape at a point of transition, notably highlighting the conversion of former rail lines into the Wabash Nature Trail and Pony Creek Nature Trail. These corridors cut through the undulating Loess Hills terrain, bridging the gap between small communities like Dumfries and the surrounding farmland of the Pottawattamie and Mills county line.

Local history is preserved in the numerous rural landmarks dotting the drainage basins of Silver Creek and Pony Creek. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the Keg Creek Township Cem, Zion Cem, and St Paul Cem. The presence of the Radio Range Station and Radio Tower alongside traditional features like St Paul Ch illustrates the layered development of this Iowa landscape in the late twentieth century.
