2010 Map of Burchinal

About this map

Burchinal anchors this rural landscape in south-central Cerro Gordo County, reflecting a classic Midwestern grid pattern defined by a network of local roads such as Jonquil Ave and Lark Ave. The terrain is shaped by the subtle drainage of Beaverdam Creek, which meanders through the eastern section of the map, and the distinctive Zerbel Slough to the west. This 2010 survey illustrates the modernization of Iowa's agricultural corridors, with the north-south interstate infrastructure cutting directly through the traditional section-line layout. Local history and genealogy interests are centered at Mount Vernon Cemetery, situated near the banks of a creek branch south of the main settlement. The map provides a precise account of the area's rural road nomenclature, from 170th St in the south to 240th St in the north, showing how contemporary transportation networks have integrated with the historic farmstead arrangement.
