1971 Map of Gladbrook NE

About this map

Wolf Creek meanders through this agricultural landscape in northeast Tama County, defining a drainage pattern that also includes Twelvemile Creek, Fourmile Creek, and Salt Creek. The map documents a period of rural stability in the townships of Grant, Buckingham, Crystal, and Perry during the early 1970s. Transportation through the northern reaches is anchored by the Chicago and North Western railroad line, while several Gaging Stations monitor the local waterways. For family historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its inclusion of several localized burial grounds, including Dinsdale Cem, Crystal Cem, and Bakers Grove Cem, providing clear spatial context for these community landmarks within the grid of section lines and farm roads.
