About this map

Elberon sits at the heart of this Tama County landscape, serving as a primary point of settlement alongside the smaller community of Waltham to the northwest. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the East Branch Salt Creek, Stein Creek, and Wolf Creek, which together carve a complex drainage pattern across the rural grid. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural layout of the region, where a structured system of avenues and streets, such as V Ave and 250th ST, connects scattered homesteads and burial grounds.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community landmarks, including the Houghton Cemetery, Lamprecht Cemetery, and Twogood Cemetery. The Waltham Cemetery remains as a marker of that settlement's local history. Central to the town of Elberon, the Elberon Post Office stands as a focal point of local administration and community identity in this established Iowa farming district.
