2015 Map of Gilbertville

About this map

Gilbertville and its surrounding townships in Black Hawk County show a landscape defined by the winding course of the Cedar River and its many tributaries. The area's spiritual and community history is anchored by several distinct burial grounds, including Saint Marys Catholic Cem and Saint Josephs Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for family historians. Smaller settlements like Raymond and Raymar are situated along a grid of section roads and modern highway corridors, illustrating the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of eastern Iowa. The drainage network of Indian Cr and Poyner Cr carves through the terrain, influencing the placement of secondary routes like Poyner Rd and Indian Creek Rd. This survey documents the intersection of traditional township boundaries, such as t88n r12w, with the expanding footprints of communities like Elk Run Heights.
