About this map

The Reilly Settlement and the crossroads of Saude define the agricultural landscape of northern Chickasaw County in this 2013 survey. The terrain is structured by a rigorous grid of section roads like Quinlan Ave and Pembroke Ave, yet this geometry is frequently interrupted by the winding courses of the Little Turkey River and its tributary, Little Turkey Cr. These watercourses create the few irregular breaks in the rural township pattern, marking the low-lying drainage areas that flow toward the south and east.

Small local landmarks such as Bethany Hall and the point labeled Zillo serve as important orientation markers for genealogists and local historians tracking rural development in this part of Iowa. The map documents a modern snapshot of a region where tradition persists, showing the persistent footprint of family farms and community gathering points alongside contemporary infrastructure like Co Hwy-B16.
