1971 Map of Dike
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Dike serves as the primary municipal hub in this 1971 topographic study, situated along the eastern edge of Grundy County. The town's grid and development are closely tied to the Chicago and North Western railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the northeastern portion of the sheet. The landscape is defined by the rectilinear township boundaries of Fairfield, Lincoln, and Grant, reflecting the methodical agricultural partitioning of the Iowa prairie. Local communal life is anchored by landmarks such as Lincoln Center Ch and the Roadman Memorial Park. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies specific burial grounds like Elmwood Cem near the town center and a more remote Township Cem in the northwest corner, providing essential geographic context for the region's rural heritage.
