The rolling hills of Des Moines County are densely populated with family burial plots and township cemeteries in this study of Burlington and West Burlington. Genealogists will find a high concentration of small, often private sites including the Steingreaber Family Plot, Carter Burial Plot, and Wykerts Cem, alongside larger grounds like the Burlington Jewish Cem and Saint Mary's Cem. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Flint Cr, Little Flint Cr, and Spring Cr, which cut through the terrain north and west of the city centers. While the suburban expansion of Burlington is evident, pockets of local heritage remain preserved, such as the Old County Home Cem and the Ancam Antique Airfield near Beaverdale. The map illustrates the 2015 layout of industrial corridors and residential developments, showing how the modern city has grown around these older landmarks and waterways.
