2022 Map of Buckingham

About this map

Buckingham and Voorhies anchor this agricultural landscape in southern Black Hawk County, just north of the border with Tama County. The terrain is defined by the gentle drainage patterns of Rock Cr, Miller Cr, and Given Cr, which weave through a strictly organized grid of rural section lines. Local genealogy and history are anchored at Calvary Cem and Blessing Cem, sites that represent the enduring community hubs of this farming region. The presence of the Ritel Copter Airstrip east of the S Hudson Road and W Tama Road intersection provides a modern contrast to the traditional rural layout. Tracing the roads like Voorhies Rd and W Reinbeck Rd reveals a landscape that has remained remarkably consistent in its township and range structure, reflecting the late 20th-century character of Iowa's interior plains.
