2018 Map of Guss

About this map

Guss serves as the central settlement point in this Taylor County landscape, situated amidst the agricultural grid of southwestern Iowa. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the W Fork One Hundred and Two River, which cuts through the township boundaries of t70n r35w, t70n r34w, t69n r35w, and t69n r34w. This 2018 survey reveals a rural infrastructure built on a precise network of roads such as Forest Ave and 130th St, which connect various family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, including Guss Cem near the town center, Holt Cem to the east, and both Dallas Center Cem and Ladoga Cem in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. These sites, often located at the intersections of section lines and secondary routes like Co Hwy J15, provide a clear view of the area's established heritage.
