2018 Map of Runnells

About this map

Runnells and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Polk, Jasper, and Marion counties are captured here in this late-decade survey. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Camp Creek and Walnut Cr, where the transition from rolling upland fields to wooded creek bottoms creates a distinct patchwork of land use. The map provides significant detail for local historians, documenting several burial grounds including Prairie Belle Cem to the north and Vandalia Cem near the settlement of Vandalia.
