2013 Map of Gilbertville

About this map

The Cedar River winding through Black Hawk County anchors this 2013 landscape, where the agricultural legacy of the Midwest meets modern transportation corridors. The settlement of Gilbertville sits near the riverbanks, served by a network of local routes including Gilbertville Rd and Fox Rd. Further north, the communities of Raymond and Raymar are situated along the historic path of Dubuque Rd, a significant east-west artery through the region. This topographic study captures the area's hydrology in detail, showing how Poyner Creek and Indian Creek drain the surrounding farmlands. The map reveals the shift from traditional grid-based local roads to the expansive highway interchanges that now define the movement of goods and people across the Iowa prairie. Researchers can trace the proximity of small towns to these evolving transit systems while following the natural meandering of the local creek systems.
