2018 Map of Conrad East

About this map

Wolf Cr and its many tributaries, including Devils Run and Burnett Cr, define the drainage patterns of this central Iowa agricultural landscape. The town of Beaman sits near the center of the survey, where streets like McMartin St and Beckman St form a compact grid just south of Oakland Cem. To the northwest, the edge of Conrad appears along S Main St, marking a point of transition between Grundy and Marshall Counties. The map reveal a rural landscape punctuated by generational landmarks, such as the Vienna Cem and Chapel Hill Cem, which serve as anchors for local family histories. A dense network of county roads, including Co Hwy T29 and Co Rd D67, connects the disparate farmsteads and township sections, reflecting the enduring 19th-century section line grid system that still governs Iowa's prairie geography.
