About this map

West Union serves as the focal point of this Fayette County survey, exhibiting a well-defined grid that radiates from the West Union Post Office and the surrounding civic infrastructure. The town's community heritage is visible through sites like the Fayette County Fairgrounds and the Fayette County Raceway, while the Vine Street Bridge provides a key crossing point. The surrounding countryside is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including the Boale Cemetery, West Union Cemetery, and Mount Pleasant Cemetery, offering significant geographic markers for genealogical research.

Waterways like Glover Creek and Otter Creek carve through the agricultural landscape, eventually leading toward Volga Lake in the southeast. This 2010 edition also details the regional transport and recreation network, from the George L Scott Municipal Airport to the Duttons Cave Campground. The layout of rural roads, such as Echo Valley Rd and Ironwood Rd, reflects the enduring section-line grid of the Iowa heartland.
