2009 Map of Twin Mound

About this map

Twin Mound rises above the rural landscape of Rooks County, serving as a prominent natural landmark in an area defined by agricultural sections and winding watercourses. This 2009 survey shows a landscape managed by a grid of rural routes, including U Rd and 24 Rd, which navigate the drainages of Medicine Creek and Elm Creek. The map is particularly significant for genealogical research, documenting several local burial sites including Twin Mound Cemetery, Johnson Cemetery, and the curiously named Survey Cemetery in the northeastern corner. These sites, along with the scattered farmsteads, provide a record of the community's footprint in a region where the land's topography still dictates the placement of roads and homesteads.
