About this map

Lake Red Rock dominates the southern landscape of this Marion County survey, its expansive waters meeting the shoreline at Cordova and the Red Rock Public Hunting Area. This region reveals a dense concentration of early family and community burial grounds, preserving the genealogy of the area through sites such as Pendrcy Cemetery, Mikesell Cemetery, and Burkhalter Cemetery. These landmarks are scattered across a terrain drained by numerous watercourses, including Wildcat Creek, Thunder Creek, and Van Zante Creek.

In the north, the settlement of Otley serves as a local hub, anchored by the Otley Post Office near the intersection of Co Hwy G28 and the railroad. The road network, including Briggs St, Dubuque Dr, and Clemens Dr, provides a clear view of the rural township structure. The map illustrates the transition from high agricultural ground down to the inundated valleys that define modern central Iowa topography.
