2018 Map of Aureola

About this map

The Shell Rock River winds through the northeastern corner of this landscape, anchoring the historic riverfront community of Marble Rock and the adjacent settlement of Aureola. This area of North Central Iowa is characterized by a dense grid of rural township roads, reflecting the long-established agricultural partition of the land. The boundary between Floyd Co and Butler Co bisects the map horizontally, notably marked by Floyd Line St. Local history and family genealogy interest is centered around features like Haselroad Cem in the southeast. Multiple drainage systems, including Beemis Cr, Ackley Cr, and Coldwater Cr, traverse the terrain, illustrating the hydrological network that has shaped local farming and settlement patterns for generations.
