Wilton and the smaller river-side settlement of Moscow define the geography of this Cedar and Muscatine County borderland. The area is characterized by a dense network of township roads and family burial grounds that reflect generations of agricultural settlement. The west is dominated by the winding course of the Cedar River, which creates a complex landscape of wetlands and oxbows, while Sugar Creek and Mud Cr drain the central and eastern uplands. Genealogists will find a high concentration of small rural cemeteries, such as Hebron Cem, Healey Cem, and Sharon Cem, often situated on high ground away from the floodplains. The street grid of Wilton is shown in detail, including its rail orientation along W Railroad St and the location of Oakdale Cem at the southern edge of the town center.
