About this map

The town of Tabor serves as the focal point of this southwestern Iowa landscape, situated along a network of section-line roads that define the region's agricultural character. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural environment deeply rooted in its educational history, evidenced by the numerous schoolhouses scattered across the townships. One can trace the paths of several small waterways that drain the loess hills area, including Waubonsie Cr and McPherron Cr.

While many of these rural centers have evolved, the map preserves the locations of local landmarks such as Four Corners School, Elm Grove School, and Shady Grove School. The settlement of Wahaghbonsy and roads named for early families, such as Mahaffey Rd and Quandt Rd, provide essential data points for genealogists and local historians studying the settlement patterns of Fremont County in the early 21st century.
