About this map

The town of Stockport serves as a primary hub for this rural portion of Van Buren County, anchored by the Stockport Post Office. The landscape is a patchwork of agricultural fields and natural drainages including Little Lick Creek, Rock Creek, and Honey Creek. Smaller communities and junctions like Utica, Pierceville, McVeigh, and Harrisburg are interconnected by a rigid grid of local roads such as Spruce Ave and Vine Ave.

Family history is deeply embedded in this terrain, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including Fordyce Cemetery, Trumbo Cemetery, and Blackmore Cemetery. The map also reveals specialized landmarks like the Carter Landing Strip and Stone-Tree Cemetery, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of these small Iowa farming communities. The numerous creeks, such as Little Cedar Creek and Coppers Creek, illustrate the natural drainage patterns that dictate the placement of farmsteads and transport routes across the county.
