>From my DeLorme Street Atlas USA 2003 Donnelley is on County Road #S45.
It is .72 miles north of State Highway #92 (also State Highway #5 in
this stretch) and .68 miles west of Whitebreast Creek, which is the
finger of Red Rock lake mud flats you cross over coming out of
Knoxville. This is the location according to Street Atlas USA 2003

Donnelley

Knoxville (township)
Marion County (IA125)
Iowa
Latitude: N41° 20.12'
Longitude: W93° 10.44'


The center of the wye just east of Lamoni (and Interstate 35) and just
south of Federal Highway #69 is still shown on the Street Atlas USA 2003
and gives the following location information. One can still see plainly
the roadbed lined by trees as you cross over while driving on I-35. Is
this Giles?
50065 (Davis City, IA)
ZIP Code 
New Buda (township)
Decatur County (IA53)
Iowa
Latitude: N40° 37.077'  
Longitude: W93° 53.471'

Now can anybody identify Tuskeego.

The mention of the line through Lamoni makes me ask, can anyone properly
name the town that was bypassed by the CB&Q and moved to the railhead at
what became Kellerton?
