About this map

The rolling plains of Wayne County unfold along the divide between the Missouri and Mississippi River watersheds, defined by a series of south-flowing streams. The terrain is segmented by Walnut Cr, Jackson Cr, and Locust Cr, which carve shallow valleys through the agricultural landscape. Several rural crossroads and historically significant family burying grounds punctuate the land, providing a clear map of early settlement patterns and lineage.

At the northern edge, Promise City and the Promise City Cem mark a focal point for the surrounding township, while the western side of Seymour is bordered by the Seymour City Reservoir. The map documents a network of named locales including Granger, Garden, and Filimore, along with numerous family cemeteries such as the Bollman Cem, Sharp Cem, and Hickerson - Stacker Cem, which remain vital landmarks for genealogical research in this part of southern Iowa.
