About this map

The Thompson River winds centrally through this section of Decatur County, joined by numerous numbered tributaries including Fourmile Creek, Sevenmile Creek, and Twelvemile Creek. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of rural roads named for flora and fauna, such as Tulip Ave, Yellow Rose Ave, and Unicorn Ave. This network connects several established burial grounds that serve as vital links for family historians, including Otterbein Cemetery in the north and Cornwall Cemetery to the southwest.

Water management and local crossings are highlighted by the presence of Spring-Valley Lake and the Grand River Bridge. The map details a strictly rural agricultural environment where land divisions are marked by routes like Ringgold Union St and Clarke-Decatur St, reflecting the proximity to neighboring county lines. Notable landmarks such as Reasoner Cemetery and Homewood Cemetery offer clear points of reference for those tracing 19th and 20th-century settlement patterns in southern Iowa.
