2018 Map of Morning Sun

About this map

Morning Sun serves as the primary hub in this corner of Louisa County, where its residential grid is anchored by Elmwood Cem and the Morning Sun Cem. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of town into a network of agricultural sections defined by long, straight section-line roads like 260th ST and Co RD x37. To the southwest, the small settlement of Yarmouth sits near the intersection of Co RD x31 and 240th ST, while Roscoe and Marsh mark quieter points on the rural periphery. The terrain is deeply incised by a drainage system including the E Fork Crooked Cr and the meandering Cedar Fork Cr, which influence the placement of regional boundaries where Henry, Louisa, and Des Moines counties meet. Genealogists and local historians can use these clear demarcations and named cemeteries to pinpoint family landholdings across these three adjoining counties.
