About this map

Marathon and Albert City anchor this agricultural landscape in Buena Vista County, documented during the late 2000s. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural roads, such as HWY 10 and 240th Ave, which partition the fertile Iowa plains. This layout reflects the enduring township and range system that has defined the region's development since the nineteenth century.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds across the countryside, including Poland Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, Fairfield Cemetery, and Marshall Cemetery. The proximity of the Marathon Post Office and Albert City Post Office to their respective town centers highlights the continued importance of these hubs in a region characterized by the wandering course of Little Cedar Creek. The map preserves the exact placement of family-named landmarks and civic infrastructure before the further modernization of the rural corridor.
