About this map

The loess hills and creek valleys of Fremont County define this modern topographical study, bookended by the settlements of Thurman in the northwest and Sidney at the southern edge. The landscape is a network of small watersheds and drainages, including Plum Cr, Perkins Cr, and Camp Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain of Dutch Hollow.

For the family historian, this map is exceptionally dense with burial sites that trace the region's pioneer and community lineage. Notable sites include Dawsonburg Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Penny Cem, alongside family-named markers like Parsley Cem, Acord Cem, and Abshire Cem. The section-line road grid, featuring routes such as Co RD j18 and Green Hollow Rd, provides a clear framework for locating these rural landmarks and understanding the rural settlement patterns of southwest Iowa.
