About this map

The Iowa River cuts a winding path through the heart of this central Iowa landscape, dividing the fertile upland plains of Hardin and Marshall counties. The settlement of Union sits at the northern edge, while Liscomb and Bangor anchor the southeastern and southwestern quadrants, respectively. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by agricultural grid lines interrupted by the riparian corridor of the river and its tributaries, including Honey Cr and Mud Cr.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across these townships, ranging from larger community grounds like Union Cem and Liscomb Cem to smaller, localized sites such as the Whitaker Family Burying Ground and Everist Cem. Landmarks like Mormon Ridge and Mormon Lake near the southern boundary suggest early migratory paths, while the Honey Creek Bridge serves as a notable crossing point for local commerce and travel.
