About this map

West Union serves as the focal point of this Fayette County landscape, where the intersection of Lincoln Rd and W Bradford St anchors the local street grid. The town is surrounded by a notable concentration of burial sites, including West Union Cem, Mount Calvary Cem, and the small Barnhouse Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research in the region. Outside the municipal center, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Otter Cr and Glover Cr, which drain the agricultural uplands toward the southeast.

Water features such as Volga Lake and Falling Springs stand out against the geometric section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The presence of the George L Scott Municipal Airport and the Vine Street Bridge reflects the modern infrastructure supporting the community. From the small settlement at South Windsor to the drainage of Frog Hollow, the map detail captures the rural character and family-named landmarks like Dunhams Grove Cem that have defined this part of Iowa for generations.
