About this map

The East Nishnabotna River carves a winding path through this Montgomery County landscape, anchoring a rural community defined by its cemeteries and small settlements. In the northern reaches, Sherman Centre and Stennett appear as quiet landmarks connected by a grid of county roads such as Ginkgo Ave and Ironwood Ave. This 2010 survey highlights a high density of burial grounds, including the family-associated L Laire Property Cemetery and the more distant Frankfort Cemetery.

South of these rural outposts, the town of Red Oak serves as a regional hub, featuring the Red Oak Post Office and the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. The geography transition from the river valley to the drainages of Red Oak Creek and West Tarkio Creek illustrates the agricultural layout of the region, where legacy properties like the Shank Cemetery remain preserved amidst the cultivated fields of southwest Iowa.
