2013 Map of Elberon

About this map

Elberon sits at the southern edge of this Tama County landscape, defined by a grid of rural roads and a complex network of waterways. The settlement's street plan, featuring Railway St and 1st St, suggests a history tied to the regional transportation network, while the small community of Waltham lies to the northwest along the winding banks of Salt Cr. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of the E Br Salt Cr, Stein Cr, and Wolf Cr, which create the natural breaks in the otherwise structured agricultural sections. This survey captures the rural character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century, with thoroughfares like Co Hwy-E44 and Co Hwy-E36 providing the primary east-west connections between these Iowa prairie settlements.
