2010 Map of Tabor SW

About this map

Thurman and the northern edge of Sidney bookend a landscape defined by an extensive network of family and community burial grounds in this 2010 survey of Fremont County. The terrain transitions from the lowlands near Possum Ditch to the more varied elevations of Dutch Hollow. Waterways such as Horse Creek, Plum Creek, and Perkins Creek drain the agricultural land, which is strictly partitioned by a grid of numbered roads like 170 St and 260 Ave. The unusual concentration of cemeteries, including Dawsonburg Cemetery, Lacy Cemetery, and Hume Cemetery, provides a significant inventory for genealogists tracing early settlement patterns in this part of southwest Iowa. The map also identifies the localized community of Dawsonburg north of the primary highway corridor.
