2018 Map of Bluffton

About this map

The Upper Iowa River carves a winding path through this corner of Winneshiek County, centering on the small settlement of Bluffton. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape deeply connected to its rural cemeteries and historic crossing points. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the township lines, including Saint Agnes Cem, Metcalf Cem, and Baethke Cem, as well as both the Bluffton Cem and the Bluffton Village Cem located near the town center. The transportation network is defined by traditional river crossings such as the Gilliece Bridge and the Lower Bluffton Bridge, which connect various county roads including Co Hwy A14 and Chimney Rock Rd. Significant tributaries like Cold Water Cr and Pine Cr feed into the main river valley, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this northeastern Iowa terrain.
