2018 Map of Gunder

About this map

The Turkey River winds through the heart of this Clayton and Fayette County landscape, carving a valley that defines the local topography. This 2018 survey documents the quiet rural character of northeastern Iowa, where the small settlement of Gunder sits at a junction near the Marion Lutheran Cem. The map reveals a dense concentration of burial sites and denominational landmarks, including the Highland Lutheran Cem and the East Clermont Lutheran Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted heritage of the surrounding townships. To the west, the edge of Elgin appears along the riverbank, while the upland areas are marked by dispersed farmsteads connected by a network of gravel and county roads like Co Hwy W70. This map is particularly useful for genealogical research, as it identifies several smaller family or community plots such as Houg Cem, Mork Cem, and Cook Cem tucked away between the ridges and creeks.
