About this map

The Tarkio River and its major tributaries, West Tarkio Creek and East Tarkio Creek, dominate this rural corner of Page County in the late 1970s. The landscape is structured by the intersections of four townships—Fremont, Douglas, Tarkio, and Nodaway—reflecting the organized agricultural grid of southwestern Iowa. This survey captures a moment when the section-line road network was well-established, facilitating movement between isolated farmsteads and local communal spaces. Genealogists and local historians can find specific burial grounds maintained within this pastoral setting, notably Baker Cem in the southwest and Summit Cem to the southeast. These small cemeteries serve as quiet markers of the early families who settled the fertile plains between the river forks, showing the distribution of rural populations before further late-century consolidation.
