2010 Map of Calmar

About this map

Calmar and Ossian serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Winneshiek County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and the drainage networks of the Trout Creek, North Fork Yellow River, and Brockamp Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites across the township, including the Springfield Cemetery, the family-named Bruvold Farm Cemetery, and the Saint Aloysius Cemetery near the center of Calmar. The settlement at Nordness and the landmark Twin Springs further ground the map in its local geography. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between historic town sites and the surrounding agricultural landscape, with the Calmar Post Office and Ossian Post Office marking the centers of civic activity.
