2015 Map of Wayland

About this map

Wayland stands as the primary settlement on this 2015 survey, situated in the southeast quadrant where N Pearl St and E Main St form the town's core. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Skunk River in the southwest, while Crooked Creek and the West Fork Crooked Creek carve through the north and east. The map reveals a dense distribution of rural burial sites, including the Wayland Cem, Eicher Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted family history of this agricultural region. The border town of Coppock sits at the junction of Henry-Washington St, marking the divide between Henry, Washington, and Jefferson counties. This intersection of river valleys and surveyed section roads illustrates the transition from river-bottom land to the upland prairies of southeastern Iowa.
