2015 Map of Dike

About this map

The town of Dike anchors the northeastern portion of this Grundy County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding courses of the N Fork Black Hawk Cr and S Fork Black Hawk Cr. This 2015 survey illustrates a highly organized rural structure, dominated by section-line roads like 160th St and Co Rd D25. For local historians and genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of township-specific landmarks, including the Beaver Township Cem in the northwest and Grant Township Cem in the southeast. Smaller named locales such as Sinclair and Swanton reflect the historical footprint of earlier settlement patterns. The map detail extends to the street level in Dike, showing Main St and Luitjens Ln near Elmwood Cem, providing a precise record of the community's modern layout amidst the surrounding prairie and farmland.
