About this map

The settlement of Weldon serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes like Co Rd R48. The town is anchored by the Weldon Post Office, reflecting its role as a focal point for the surrounding rural community. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including South White Breast Creek, North Hoosier Creek, and the Weldon River, which carve through the agricultural grid.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet offers significant detail via numerous family and community burial grounds. From Lewis Cemetery in the north to Metier Cemetery in the south, these sites indicate the locations of early homesteads and congregations. The presence of the Mormon Trl cutting diagonally across the township provides a clear link to the historic migration paths that shaped the early development of Decatur and Clarke counties.
