About this map

Panama and Westphalia anchor this portion of Shelby County, where a grid of rural roads and township divisions defines the agricultural landscape. The area is marked by several centers of local heritage, including Saint Marys Cemetery and Saint Boniface Cemetery, which serve their respective communities. The presence of the Panama Post Office and Westphalia Post Office highlights these small towns as vital hubs within the rolling terrain.

Drainage follows the natural courses of Mosquito Creek, Keg Creek, and Silver Creek, which cut through the farm plots. Smaller settlements like Roach and established township burial grounds such as Washington Township Cemetery, Lincoln Township Cemetery, and Cass Township Cemetery provide specific landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of this Iowa prairie region.
