2018 Map of Truro

About this map

Truro serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, where the intersection of three counties—Madison, Warren, and Clarke—dictates the local geography. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads following the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, though the terrain is naturally carved by the S River and its various tributaries. For family history researchers, the map identifies several rural burying grounds including Young Cem, Farson Cem, and Hartman Cem, many of which are tucked away from the main thoroughfares. The southern portion of the sheet shows the headwaters of Hanner Cr and Walnut Cr, while the northern section is dominated by the winding path of Broadhorn Cr. This modern survey details how Interstate 35 bisects the eastern townships, creating a sharp contrast between modern high-speed transit and the older grid of gravel roads like Settlers Trl.
