About this map

Wapello serves as the focal point of this eastern Iowa landscape, situated along the winding banks of the Iowa River. As the seat of Louisa County, the town's administrative significance is marked by the Louisa County Courthouse near the intersection of State St and Main St. The surrounding geography is defined by a complex network of agricultural drainage and waterways, including the Otter Creek County Ditch and Turkey Run, which carve through the fertile bottomlands.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of rural burial grounds scattered across the townships. From the Mount Hope Cem in the northwest to the Concord Cem in the south, these sites reflect a century of family farming and community settlement. Notable among these is the Louisa County Farm Cem, a poignant reminder of the area's social history. The map also detail local transport routes like Co Rd G62 and Co Rd X61 that connect these dispersed landmarks.
