2018 Map of Gilmore City

About this map

Gilmore City straddles the county line at the northern edge of this landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways and engineered drainage systems, including North Branch Lizard Creek and Drainage Ditch Number 168, which manage the region's flat, fertile terrain. To the south, Lizard Lake provides a natural landmark amidst the geometric grid of section roads. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several significant sites, such as Saint John's Cem and two locations for Marble Valley Cem. The small settlement of Pioneer sits in the southeast, positioned near Deer Cr and the confluence of several rural thoroughfares, illustrating the late 20th-century distribution of small-town Iowa.
