2018 Map of Wayland

About this map

Wayland and Coppock serve as the primary anchors in this rural landscape where the borders of Washington, Henry, and Jefferson counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Skunk River in the southwest and the branching reach of Crooked Creek and Williams Creek through the central and northern sections. For genealogists and local historians, this map is particularly valuable for its high density of family and community burial sites, including Shiloh Cem, Bethel Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The settlement pattern follows a grid of county roads such as Sockum Ridge Rd, while the town of Wayland shows a concentrated residential core along E Main St and W Front St. This survey captures the enduring agricultural character of southeast Iowa, preserving the locations of numerous historic landmarks like Armstrong Cem and Sugar Creek Cem within the larger watershed of the West Fork Crooked Creek.
