About this map

The Wapsipinicon River winds through this Jones County landscape, creating a mosaic of riverine features such as Cedar Island and the distinctive Hogs Den Hollow. The settlement of Newport sits centrally near the river, while the towns of Morley and Olin anchor the southern portion of the sheet. Further north and west, the map details the edges of Anamosa and the community of Wyoming, interconnected by a network of established routes like Grant Wood Rd and Lead Mine Rd.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including Pleasant Valley Cem, Merritt Cem, Grafft Cem, Hazel Green Cem, Midland Cem, and Center Cem, providing essential keys for family history research in this part of Iowa. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses such as Bear Cr, Beers Cr, and Mineral Cr that feed into the main river valley, defining the rural character of the area.
