About this map

Greeley and the surrounding agricultural townships of Delaware County are defined by a network of creeks and springs that feed into the local watershed. The settlement pattern is characterized by small rural hubs like Oneida and Almoral, connected by a precise grid of section-line roads such as 220th Ave and Co Hwy C64. The terrain transitions from open farmland to more dissected drainage areas carved by Fountain Springs Cr and Plum Cr.

Family history is anchored at sites like Saint Joseph's Cem and Grant View Cem, located just east of the main town center. A notable geographic feature, Fountain Mill Spring, suggests the early 19th-century reliance on natural water sources for power and settlement. The map captures the enduring rural character of this eastern Iowa landscape, where named tributaries like Odell Br and Bear Cr continue to shape the land use and road placements.
