About this map

Wayland serves as the primary hub of this rural Iowa landscape, situated at the intersection of Wayland Rd and 111th St. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the Skunk River and its numerous tributaries, including Crooked Creek and Williams Creek. This area is particularly notable for its dense concentration of burial sites, reflecting generations of family settlement across the Henry and Washington county line.

Genealogists can trace a remarkable number of local histories through landmarks like Schrock Cemetery, Shiloh Cemetery, and Cottonwood Cemetery. The village of Coppock sits near the riverbanks to the west, where the Coppock Access provides a clear point of entry to the waterway. The map also detail the scattered farmsteads connected by a grid of rural routes such as Sockum Ridge Rd and Quince Ave, illustrating the enduring agricultural character of the region.
