2013 Map of Garber

About this map

Elkport and Garber sit at a notable bend in the Turkey River, where the Volga River joins the flow in northeastern Iowa. This 2013 survey captures the area at a time when these small riverside communities remain connected by landmarks like the Garber Bridge and the adjacent Garber Bridge Access. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Bear Cr, Wolf Cr, and Steeles Br, which carve through the terrain and dictate the path of local roads like Hawk Ave and Glacier Rd. The small settlement of Littleport is situated in the northwest along the Volga, while Wood serves as a named point in the southwestern interior. This map is particularly useful for understanding the modern rural road network and the persistence of these small river towns in the face of the region's complex drainage patterns.
