About this map

The northern reaches of Toledo anchor this Tama County landscape, where the town's edge transitions into a grid of rural section roads and agricultural lands. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Deer Creek, Jordan Creek, and the wandering South Branch Salt Creek. These waterways and their unnamed tributaries carved the undulating valley floors that dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Co Rd E29 and numerous lettered avenues.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Rose Hill Cemetery near the western boundary and Pleasant Hill Cemetery to the north. Further east, the Tama County Lake Dam marks a significant hydrologic feature on Otter Creek. Small clusters of development like Homan and the proximity of Wheaton Cemetery and Fee Chapel Cemetery illustrate the historic settlement patterns of this central Iowa farming region.
