This township map is from the 1878 History of Fayette County. The links
will take you to town and township histories and lists of residents in
1878. All the biographies included in that book have been posted and are
linked from the list of residents. Some are on the biography board and
some are elsewhere. Links to most of them will be found on the individual
pages linked below. If they have been posted to the biography board you
may need to use the search engine on that page.
There are also links
to plat maps and lists of residents from the "Official County Plat
Book and Rural Directory of Fayette County Iowa" published by the
American National Bank, Arlington, Iowa, in 1957. Not all townships have
been transcribed but will be.
