About this map

Moulton serves as the central hub for this corner of southern Iowa, situated at a crossroad of local routes like 318th Ave and 550th St. The town contains the Moulton Post Office and sits just north of the Moulton Airport. This landscape is defined by its deep network of rural burial grounds, reflecting the long-established agricultural community. Family and community names appear frequently across the map, from the Staten Cemetery in the southeast to the Orleans Cemetery near the northern settlement of Orleans.

Waterways carve through the rolling farmland, with the Chariton River and Pigeon Creek meandering through the southwest corner near Dean. The drainage pattern is complex, featuring the upper reaches of the Fox River, South Fox Creek, and the North Fabius River. This 2010 survey records a landscape where small crossroads settlements and secluded graveyards like Shinn Cemetery and Hardin Cemetery remain as anchor points for local heritage.
