About this map

The Mesquakie Indian Settlement occupies the northeastern corner of this Tama County landscape, situated where the Iowa River and Indian Cr converge. This area is defined by the heavy meander of the river through a broad floodplain, contrasted by the upland agricultural fields of Montour. The town of Montour is positioned along the historic route of the Lincoln Hwy, which runs east-west across the central portion of the map.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, including Butlerville Cem, Maple Hill Cem, and Korns Cem. The drainage patterns of the region are exceptionally detailed, showing the courses of Raven Cr, Richland Cr, and Abes Fork as they feed into the larger river system. Numerous county roads, such as Co RD t47 and Co RD e49, establish the rural grid that connects these disparate settlements and family cemeteries.
