About this map

The South Skunk River carves a diagonal path through this rural Iowa landscape, defining the local topography and drainage patterns for a series of smaller tributaries. The small settlement of Peoria serves as a primary local landmark, situated near the headwaters of Buckley Creek and its East Branch. Further south, the community of Bernina overlooks the river valley near the confluence of Ballinger Creek.

For those researching family history in the area, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Peoria Cemetery, Baldwin Cemetery, and Appel Cemetery. The southern portion of the quadrangle is bisected by Ia 163, passing near Muchakinock Creek and Black Oak Cemetery. This map document captures the rural township character of the region, where a grid of local roads like Adams Ave and Eaton Ave connects scattered homesteads across the fertile river plains.
