About this map

The Cedar River flows through this corner of Black Hawk County, defining the corridor where modern infrastructure meets the agricultural heartland. The river valley is paralleled by the Cedar Valley Nature Trl, providing a recreational artery through the landscape near Gilbertville. To the north, the town of Raymond and the eastern edge of Evansdale show the suburban expansion from the Waterloo area, while the surrounding townships maintain a strict grid of section roads like Osage Rd and Independence Ave.

Local history is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds, including Saint Mary's Cem and Saint Joseph's Cem, which reflect the area's early settlement patterns. Small waterways such as Poyner Cr and Indian Cr carve low-lying drainage patterns across the terrain, illustrating the persistent relationship between the watershed and the development of local transport routes like Gilbertville Rd.
