2010 Map of Giard

About this map

Yellow River winds through the northern portion of this Northeast Iowa landscape, a region defined by steep creek valleys and high agricultural ridges. Small, established settlements like Froelich, Giard, and Ion anchor the local geography, connected by a network of gravel and paved roads. Genealogists will find significant local history at the Railroad Employee Cemetery near Beulah and the Saint Wenceslaus Cemetery, which reflect the community's ancestral foundations and labor history. The area's limestone topography is notable at Spook Cave and Campground, a unique underground feature situated near the headwaters of Bloody Run. Other land uses range from the Monona Municipal Airport in the southwest to the quiet banks of Sny Magill Creek, illustrating a landscape that balances aviation and recreation with traditional Iowa farming.
