2010 Map of Galva

About this map

The town of Galva anchors the southeastern corner of this Ida County landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The township is characterized by a precise grid of section-line roads, including E County Rd and numerous numbered avenues and streets, which define the late 20th and early 21st-century rural layout. Waterways such as the Maple River and the Little Maple River meander through the fields, creating natural breaks in the geometric farm plots. Local history is deeply etched into the land through its burial grounds, with the Diamond Cemetery in the north and a cluster of sites near the town center, including the Galva City Cemetery, Galva Township Cemetery, and Galva Lutheran Cemetery. The presence of the Coulson Post Office label in the northern section points to a specific point of local interest along 630th St, while the Galva Post Office remains central to the town's operations.
