2018 Map of Holland

About this map

Holland and the northern outskirts of Grundy Center anchor this agricultural landscape in Grundy County, where a grid of rural roads and section lines defines the local geography. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by sites like the Colfax Center Presbyterian Church Cem and the Pleasant Valley Reformed Cem. These landmarks, along with the small settlement of Fern near the northern boundary, point to a history of organized township settlement and local congregation centers. The terrain is drained by several branches of the Black Hawk and Beaver creek systems, including the S Fork Blackhawk Cr and the meandering Holland Cr. The convergence of naming conventions, such as Hoxie and Marble Rd, alongside the standard numbered street system, provides a detailed record of the road network at the end of the second decade of the 21st century.
