2018 Map of Persia

About this map

The settlement of Persia serves as the primary hub in this western Iowa landscape, situated along the upper reaches of Mosquito Cr. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its complex drainage network and agricultural heritage, where several small cemeteries such as Chambers Cem, Lytle Cem, and Schley Cem are preserved among the fields. To the south, the community of Yorkshire sits near the confluence of local tributaries, marking a secondary point of historical settlement near the border of Pottawattamie County. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of family burial grounds like Champlin Cem and Graybill Cem, which remain as anchor points for local history. The land is intricately carved by waterways including Pigeon Cr, Spring Cr, and Keg Cr, illustrating the topographical texture of Harrison County.
