2018 Map of Ivester

About this map

Ivester and the surrounding farmland of Grundy County define this section of the Iowa landscape, characterized by a grid of rural routes like 240th St and E Ave that cross a rolling terrain carved by local waterways. The area is heavily marked by its genealogical record, with several family and community burial grounds including Sheller Cem, Melrose Cem, and Alice Union Cem serving as landmarks of early settlement. The hydrology is dominated by the branches of Wolf Cr and Black Hawk Cr, which drain the agricultural plots. In the southwestern corner, the outskirts of Whitten and the Benson Cem further illustrate the distribution of early communities across the township lines of t87n r18w and t86n r18w.
