About this map

Tabor sits at the intersection of the Fremont and Mills county line, serving as the primary hub for this rural landscape. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of winding creeks and tributaries, including Waubonsie Cr, McPherron Cr, and Plum Cr, which carve through the loess hills typical of this region. The map reveals a land structured by the Public Land Survey System, with a regular grid of gravel and paved roads such as Mahaffey Rd and Quigg Ave providing access to outlying farms.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of small, rural burial grounds. Scattered across the hills are several named cemeteries, including the Linville Farm Cem, Mackey Cem, and Estes Cem, alongside the larger Tabor Cem and Fairview Cem. These sites, often located near farmsteads or along creek bluffs, provide a clear record of the early families who settled this agricultural stretch of Southwest Iowa.
