1981 Map of Zion

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Hill of Zion serves as a prominent landmark in this rural landscape, situated just west of the small settlement of Zion. This portion of Southern Iowa is defined by its watershed patterns, where Ninemile Creek and the Thompson River drain the northern sections while Threemile Creek carves through the southern terrain. The survey reflects the region's agricultural and transit-oriented development, with several pipelines traversing the area and the Burlington Northern railroad running through the southwest corner near Spaulding. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of Wilson Cem and Liberty Cem, alongside several country churches that anchored these farming communities. The landscape is further marked by local resource extraction, such as the Gravel Pit located in the southeastern corner within the Lincoln township boundary.
