About this map

Truro serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes and just west of the major transportation corridor of Interstate 35. The presence of the Interstate 35 High Sch and a municipal Water Tank underscore the town's role as a regional center for the surrounding townships of Ohio, South, and Virginia. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Broadhorn Creek and the South River, which cut through the agricultural plateaus.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, including Worthing Cem, Hartman Cem, and Parson Cem. The transit history of the area is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running parallel to the modern interstate, while the Broadhorn Ch stands as a focal point for the rural community north of the main settlement. Further south, the landscape transitions into Fremont and Washington townships, where Walnut Creek and Hanner Creek drain toward the county line.
