2018 Map of Wyoming West

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a rural Jones County terrain defined by established small-town centers and a network of family cemeteries. The town of Wyoming sits at the eastern edge, while the smaller settlements of Onslow, Center Junction, and Hale are linked by a grid of secondary roads and section lines. For local historians, the distribution of burial grounds such as the North Madison Pioneer Cem and Madison Village Cem offers insight into the early township settlement patterns of the 19th century. Near the southern border, the Hale Bridge provides a crossing over the river, marking a point of connectivity for the surrounding farmsteads. The drainages of Bear Cr and Little Bear Cr further carve the topography, illustrating the natural water system that influenced the placement of these agricultural communities.
