About this map

The Wapsipinicon River meanders through this portion of Jones County, Iowa, creating a landscape defined by river bends and low-lying islands like Cedar Island. The small settlements of Morley, Newport, Olin, and Wayside serve as local hubs within a network of section-line roads and named routes such as Grant Wood Rd and Lead Mine Rd.

Significant landmarks include the Fremont Mill Bridge near the northeastern corner and the expansive Iowa State Penal Farm to the northwest. The presence of Central Park Lake and the Olin Recreation Area Access highlights the region's dedication to water-based recreation and land management. Genealogists and local historians can trace the topography from Hogs Den Hollow to the many creek drainages, including Bear Cr and Beers Cr, which have shaped the settlement patterns of this agricultural heartland.
