About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Wallin sits at a rural crossroads in Montgomery County, serving as a quiet focal point for this section of southwest Iowa. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of the Tarkio River and its various branches, including E Tarkio Cr, Little Tarkio Cr, and Sevenmile Creek. These waterways carve through the agricultural uplands, shaping the placement of the section-line road network that includes locally named routes like Nature Ave.

For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, documenting several distinct pioneer and community cemeteries. These include Plot Grove Center Cem, Pilot Grove Cem, and Tabor Cem. The presence of Mortons Mill Cem in the east and Mission Cem in the south provides a geographic framework for tracing early township settlements and family migrations through the T73N and T72N ranges.
