2018 Map of Union Mills

About this map

Union Mills sits as the central point of interest in this section of rural Mahaska County, positioned along the meandering North Skunk River. The landscape is characterized by the structured grid of the Public Land Survey System, with the river and its tributaries, including Buck Cr and Middle Cr, providing the only break in the geometric regularity of the farmland. For researchers of local genealogy, the map identifies several burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Union Mills Cem, Tilford Cem, and the uniquely named Mormon Point Cem. This modern survey reflects the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where a dense network of local roads like Niland Ave and Parkin Ave connect long-standing homesteads and rural landmarks in the T77N and T76N ranges.
