2018 Map of West Grove

About this map

The unincorporated community of West Grove serves as the focal point for this Davis County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to ripple with the drainage of the S Wuaconda River and Carter Cr. This area is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research in southern Iowa. Notable sites include Hetzler Cem and Evergreen Cem in the west, while Mount Moriah Cem and Bethel Cem are located to the east. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into the river bottoms of the N Fabius River near the small settlement of Monterey. The network of gravel roads and section lines reflects the enduring agricultural layout of the region, connecting remote homesteads to central points like the West Grove Cem.
