New Sharon anchors the northern portion of this Mahaska County landscape, where the grid of rural roads meets a terrain carved by the North Skunk River and South Skunk River. This 2022 survey documents a deeply rooted agricultural community, evident in the numerous small burial grounds that dot the countryside, such as Weatherwax Cem and Jackson Cem. The settlement of Lacey sits further south, positioned between the headwaters of Middle Cr and the larger river valleys. The intricate network of county roads, including Co HWY g23 and Co HWY g5t, connects these remote farmsteads and historic sites, reflecting a landscape that has maintained its rural character and spatial organization for generations.
