2010 Map of Morley

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River meanders through the heart of this Jones County landscape, creating distinctive features like Cedar Island and the valley known as Hogs Den Hollow. The 2010 survey highlights a predominantly agricultural and civic layout, anchored by the settlements of Morley, Olin, and Newport. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its density of burial grounds, including the Midland Cemetery to the north, Antioch Cemetery near Bear Creek, and the dual Center Cemetery and Green Center Cemetery sites in the southwest. A notable civic presence is established by the Iowa State Penal Farm in the northwest corner, while the Fremont Mill Bridge near Central Park Lake serves as a reminder of early river crossings and milling infrastructure in the region.
