About this map

The town of Persia serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Harrison County, positioned along Ia 191 and the winding course of Mosquito Cr. The area is characterized by a series of north-south drainage systems, including Pigeon Cr, Spring Cr, and Lytles Cr, which have carved the terrain into the distinct ridges and valleys typical of western Iowa. In the southern portion of the map, the settlement of Yorkshire is situated near the Pottawattamie County line.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships. These include Chambers Cem to the north, Lytle Cem and Schley Cem in the central hills, and Champlin Cem and Graybill Cem further south. The road network, composed of named routes like Waverly Ave and Apple RD, follows the section lines, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in organizing this rural territory.
