2015 Map of West Point

About this map

The city of West Point serves as the central hub of this Lee County landscape, where the rectangular street grid gives way to a network of creeks and timbered ridges. To the southeast, the outskirts of Fort Madison begin to emerge, marking the transition toward the Mississippi River valley. The area is exceptionally dense with small family and parish burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural settlement of the region. Local landmarks such as Pollmiller Park Lake and Wilson Lake provide key points of reference amidst the rolling terrain carved by Pitman Cr and Devils Cr. Researchers will find a preserved record of rural infrastructure, from the early roads like Co Rd J40 to the numerous cemeteries including Whorton Cem and Van Hyning Cem that dot the countryside between established homesteads.
