About this map

Saint Charles sits at the heart of this landscape, characterized by the winding courses of the Middle River and Clanton Creek. The area is a network of small agricultural settlements and rural crossroads, with the Saint Charles Post Office and Bevington Post Office serving as local hubs. Of particular note is the Imes Covered Bridge, a significant engineering landmark located just east of the main town site, reflecting the region's historic transportation infrastructure.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across numerous family and community grounds, including Montpelier Cemetery, Brush Ridge Cemetery, and the Blair Chapel Cemetery. The map also captures the path of local rail corridors and the development of modern thoroughfares that pass near Hanley and Conger. This 2010 survey provides a look at the enduring placement of these rural Iowa communities and their landmarks before further modern expansion.
