2010 Map of Gladbrook NE

About this map

Wolf Creek meanders through the heart of this Tama County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns and topography in an area characterized by a rigorous grid of section lines and county roads. The settlement history of the region is anchored by Collins Grove and the associated Collins Grove Post Office, providing a specific point of reference for genealogists tracing ancestors in this part of Iowa. The map also documents two significant burial grounds, Dinsdale Cemetery to the north and Bakers Grove Cemetery in the southern portion, which serve as vital landmarks for local history research. These sites, along with the courses of Salt Creek, Twelvemile Creek, and Fourmile Creek, illustrate the intersection of pioneer-era hydrology and early 21st-century rural infrastructure.
