About this map

Moscow and Wilton anchor this survey of the Cedar and Muscatine County borderlands, where the Cedar River winds through the western landscape. The settlement of Moscow sits near the river bend, surrounded by family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds such as Duff Cem and Healey Cem. The grid of Wilton to the east reflects its established role as a local crossroads, with several religious and community sites including Oakdale Cem and Saint Mary's Cem located on its southern outskirts.

Waterways like Sugar Creek and Mud Creek branch across the prairie, defining the drainage patterns of the agricultural sections. The rural character of the region is further detailed by numerous named cemeteries, including Klein Cem and Wildasin Cem, which provide significant touchstones for genealogical research. The map captures the persistent layout of section roads and township boundaries, including t78n r2w and t79n r1w, that have organized these Iowa farm lands for generations.
