About this map

Wallin and its surrounding agricultural landscape in Montgomery County are defined by the intricate drainage of the Tarkio River and its various branches. This 2010 survey illustrates a region where life is organized around the section-line road grid and long-standing community landmarks. The map is a vital resource for genealogists, as it preserves the exact locations of numerous burial grounds across the township, including Pilot Grove Center Cemetery, Tabor Cemetery, and Mission Cemetery.

Outside of the small settlement of Wallin, the landscape remains largely rural, dotted with isolated airfields such as Jacobs Airport. The hydrology of the area is particularly detailed, tracing the winding paths of East Tarkio Creek, Little Tarkio Creek, and Sevenmile Creek through the prairie fields. The northern edge of the sheet also captures the proximity of Morton Mills Cemetery and Memorial Cemetery, highlighting the concentration of family and community history embedded in this corner of Iowa.
