About this map

The South Skunk River meanders across the agricultural heart of the Marion Co Mahaska Co border, providing a central drainage system for this corner of Iowa. The small settlement of Peoria is the primary community hub, positioned near several creek branches including Buckley Cr and E Br Buckley Cr. The landscape is defined by its rural road grid, with primary thoroughfares like Co Hwy G15 and Co Hwy G57 connecting scattered farmsteads and agricultural tracts.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including the Peoria Cem, Baldwin Cem, and Appel Cem. Further south, the map documents the Black Oak Cem and Centennial Cem, situated near the headwaters of Black Oak Cr and Muchakinock Cr. The landmark Castle Cor stands as a notable waypoint in the lower sections of the quadrangle, where the terrain slopes toward the river bottomlands.
