2010 Map of West Point

About this map

West Point serves as the central hub of this Lee County landscape, where the street grid and the West Point Post Office anchor a rural community defined by its creeks and burial grounds. The geography is characterized by numerous small, family and community cemeteries such as Creel Cemetery, Goldsmith Cemetery, and Van Hyning Cemetery, which are scattered among the agricultural plots. These sites, along with larger grounds like Calvary Cemetery, offer significant points of interest for genealogical research in southeastern Iowa. Water features define the drainage patterns of the area, most notably Sugar Creek and Pitman Creek. Recreation and infrastructure meet at Pollimer Park, where the Pollimer Park Lake Dam creates Pollimer Park Lake, providing a local contrast to the surrounding farm fields and winding country roads like St Paul Rd.
