About this map

Plano and the smaller settlement of Garfield occupy the southern portion of this landscape, situated along the border of Wayne and Appanoose Counties. The northern half of the region is defined by the reaching fingers of Rathbun Lake, a major reservoir that has altered the drainage patterns of the South Park Chariton River and its various tributaries like Catfish Br and Southfork Pl. The terrain is characterized by dissected uplands and numerous small creek valleys, including Little Walnut Cr and Wolf Br.

Family and community history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Wadlington Cem, Charitan River Cem, and Jones Cem. These sites, along with Brushy Cem and Lyons Cem, provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing early residents of the T70N and T69N districts. The road network, including HWY j18 and Co RD s70, connects these rural points across the undulating hills of southern Iowa.
