About this map

The town of Wyoming anchors the western edge of this landscape, where the rolling agricultural lands of eastern Jones County meet the borders of Jackson and Clinton counties. This modern topographic record illustrates a rural Iowa environment defined by its waterways and small, long-established communities. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainage systems including Bear Creek, Bryan Cr, and the uniquely named Rat Run, which flow through the undulating countryside.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, such as South Mineral Cem in the north and Cady Cem near the center of the quadrangle. The village of Monmouth sits on the eastern boundary, connected to its neighbors by a network of named secondary roads like Pleasant Ridge Rd and Boblink Rd. These roads often follow the winding ridges and creek valleys, reflecting the historical settlement patterns of the region.
