1978 Map of Wallin

About this map

Wallin and its surrounding townships define this agrarian landscape in Montgomery County during the late 1970s. The area is marked by a network of drainage systems, most notably the south-flowing East Tarkio Creek and the Little Tarkio River, which carve through the territory of Frankfort and Pilot Grove. Cultural life is anchored by local congregations and burial grounds, including the Tabor Ch near Wallin and the Pilot Grove Ch and Pilot Grove Cem further north. This topographic study captures the rural infrastructure of the era, from the established sections of Douglas and Washington to the modern utility of industrial pipelines that traverse the township boundaries. Genealogists may find the locations of Mission Cem and Memorial Cem particularly useful for tracing family ties in this corner of southwestern Iowa.
