2013 Map of Grand Mound

About this map

Grand Mound serves as the primary hub of activity on this prairie landscape, where the town's grid of streets like Fulton St and Smith St stands in contrast to the surrounding section lines. The geography is defined by a series of waterways that drainage the agricultural fields, most notably the winding Wapsipinicon River which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle with its complex series of oxbows and marshy bends. Tributaries such as Calamus Cr and Barber Cr meander through the countryside, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this Iowa county. Rural life is anchored by a strictly ordered road network, though local landmarks like Kageman's Rd and Sunnyside St offer specific points of interest for those tracing the development of the township near the turn of the 21st century.
