About this map

Gladbrook sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Tama County, serving as a central hub for the surrounding township. The town is organized around a grid of streets including Front St and Grand St, with the Tama County Fairgrounds positioned on the western edge of the settlement. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern road network of the Iowa interior, where numbered routes like 170 St and 180th St intersect with lettered avenues in a precise rectilinear pattern.

Natural drainage is defined by Wolf Cr and its tributaries, which meander across the plains. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain transitions toward Union Grove Lake, a significant water body fed by Deer Cr. The map captures the specialized hydrology of the region, from the seasonal flow of Devils Run to the larger courses of Fourmile Cr and Crystal Cr, documenting the rural character of the land between Gladbrook and the lake.
