1870 Map, Quaker Meetings

(This map while useful for initially mapping the underground railroad in Iowa, it is an incomplete record of fugitive slave era Quaker Meetings in Iowa.  Deleted are some of the older conservative meetings following an 1860's separation of Friends in Iowa while also some of the older meetings were never part of the Iowa Yearly Meeting.  

See Louis T. Jones', "Quakers of Iowa" for a chronicling of the pioneer and fugitive slave era Quaker settlement in Iowa.  Some Quaker Meetings retained their affiliation back to Ohio Yearly Meeting or others.  Hence this map of Iowa Yearly Meeting Friends Meetings is not the complete record of where there were Quaker Meetings in pioneer Iowa.  However it does give a good idea of the dispersal of Friends in Iowa near the time.
