2022 Map of Saude

About this map

Saude and the nearby Reilly Settlement anchor this portrait of the rural landscape along the border of Howard and Chickasaw Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Turkey River and Little Turkey Creek, which cut through a strictly gridded network of section roads like Co Hwy V46 and 120th St. This area reflects a long-standing agricultural tradition, where community life centers on small gathering points and parish grounds. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, including Saude Lutheran Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, Crane Creek Lutheran Cem, and the uniquely named Yankee Cem. The inclusion of Bethany Hall near the center of the sheet further illustrates the distributed nature of social and civic life in this corner of Northeast Iowa.
