2022 Map of Montour

About this map

The Iowa River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, carving a wide valley that defines the local geography. Just south of the river, the town of Montour sits along the historic Lincoln Hwy, a primary artery for the region. To the east, the Mesquakie Indian Settlement spans the river, showing a distinct land-use pattern within the surrounding agricultural grid. The terrain is marked by numerous small tributaries including Raven Cr, Richland Cr, and Abes Fork. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the area, from the Butlerville Cem in the northwest to the Maple Grove Cem in the southeast. These cemeteries, such as Maple Hill Cem and the McIntosh Cem, serve as important landmarks for tracing family lineages in Tama County.
