About this map

Richland and Ollie anchor the upper portion of this topographic study, where the fertile plains of the Iowa heartland meet the winding corridors of the South Skunk River and Skunk River. This landscape is defined by its deep agricultural roots, visible in the intricate network of section roads like Co Hwy V67 and the small, scattered community centers that characterize Keokuk and Jefferson counties. The settlement of Packwood sits near the southern boundary, further illustrating the dispersed rural development pattern of the region.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds documented across the townships. From the centrally located Ollie Brethren Cem and Ollie Cem to more secluded sites like Halferty Cem and Altman Cem, these landmarks preserve the family names of the early settlers. The terrain is dissected by Richland Cr and Middle Walnut Cr, which shaped the early paths and drainage of the surrounding farmland.
