2018 Map of Buckingham

About this map

The settlement of Buckingham serves as a southern anchor for this rural landscape, situated just across the county line in northern Tama County. The terrain is defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and the winding course of Rock Cr, which flows through the center of the survey area. Further north in Black Hawk County, the small community of Voorhies marks a quiet crossroads amid the fields. Genealogists will find several burial grounds of note, including Larch Hill Cem near the town site and Blessing Cem along W Tama Rd. The transition between Black Hawk and Tama counties is punctuated by family-named landmarks like Calvary Cem and the small Ritel Copter Airstrip, providing a precise look at the local geography of central Iowa in the late 2010s.
