About this map

Persia serves as the primary hub of this 2010 landscape, where the Persia Post Office and local street grid are situated near the confluence of Spring Creek and Mosquito Creek. The surrounding agricultural region is marked by small settlements such as Yorkshire to the south and Magill to the southeast, illustrating a classic Iowa section-line road network.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds across the territory. Six distinct sites are identified, including Chambers Cemetery in the north and the clustered Champlin Cemetery, Graybill Cemetery, and Spears Cemetery near the southern boundary. These landmarks, alongside waterways like Keg Creek and Lytles Creek, provide a detailed framework for tracing local lineage and land use patterns in this part of Harrison County.
