2010 Map of Mingo

About this map

Mingo serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, where the Mingo Post Office anchors a rural grid defined by agricultural sections and creek drainages. The terrain is deeply tied to the path of Indian Creek and Wolf Creek, which flow southward through the quadrangle. Small, scattered settlements like Farrar, Clyde, and Peoria City mark the intersections of county roads, representing the enduring structure of Jasper County's farming communities. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial sites, including the Ashton Cemetery, Graham Cemetery, and Dieter Cemetery. These landmarks, along with Kintz Cemetery and Farrar Cemetery, provide a clear spatial record of the area's early families. The road network, including CTY f17, overlays a landscape where smaller water features like Byers Branch and Clear Creek continue to shape the local geography.
