2010 Map of Buckingham

About this map

Buckingham serves as a central point of reference in this Tama County agricultural landscape, where the Buckingham Post Office and the nearby Larch Hill Cemetery reflect a long-standing rural community. The area's geography is defined by a grid of farm-to-market roads and the meandering courses of Rock Creek, Miller Creek, and Wolf Creek. Small settlements like Voorhies and Blessing punctuate the landscape, each anchored by local landmarks such as Calvary Cemetery and Blessing Cemetery. This 2010 survey illustrates the enduring rural structure of the region, showing how family heritage and community identity remain tied to these specific sections of land. The persistence of these named cemeteries and small clusters suggests a landscape where genealogical roots are deeply embedded in the township's established boundaries and drainage basins.
