About this map

The Little Turkey River meanders through this agricultural section of Chickasaw and Howard Counties, anchoring small communities and rural centers. Reilly Settlement serves as a notable landmark near the center of the sheet, while the hamlet of Saude sits further north along the river's path. The landscape is defined by its deep spiritual and community roots, evidenced by the distribution of country churches and burial grounds like the Sacred Heart Cem and Saude Lutheran Cem.

A network of gravel roads, such as Co Hwy B28 and Co Hwy V46, connects these isolated clusters. The map details a transition in terrain where the smaller Little Turkey Cr joins the main river channel, creating a subtle drainage basin that influenced early land use. This survey records the persistent rural character of northeast Iowa, where localized centers like Bethany Hall and Yankee Cem represent the enduring footprint of multi-generational farming families.
