About this map

Washington serves as the central hub for this southeastern Iowa landscape, organized around a traditional street grid and several significant local landmarks. The community’s history is anchored by Woodlawn Cem and Elm Grove Cem, while the Washington Municipal Airport sits to the southeast. Outside the city limits, the terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including W Fork Crooked Cr, N Fork Long Cr, and Clemons Cr, which carve through the agricultural sections of t75n r7w and surrounding townships.

Researchers will find several rural burial sites that offer genealogical value, such as Philips Cem to the northwest and the County Farm Cem located along the western approach to town. The map documents the persistent agricultural and drainage patterns of the region, showing how contemporary road systems like Co HWY w61 and various numbered county roads follow the section lines of the original Public Land Survey System.
