About this map

La Porte City occupies the heart of this landscape, situated at the confluence where Wolf Creek joins the Cedar River. The settlement pattern follows a grid centered on W Main St and Commercial St, transitioning into a rural environment defined by sectional agricultural plots. Several family and community burial grounds are scattered throughout the region, including Westview Cem on the edge of town and the more isolated Engledow Cem to the south.

The hydrology of the area is particularly complex near the riverbanks, where numerous smaller tributaries like Mud Cr and Rock Cr feed into the primary waterway. The boundary between Black Hawk Co and Benton Co cuts across the southern portion of the map, marking a transition in local jurisdiction. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern road network, from major arteries like LaPorte Rd to local connectors like Gilbertville Rd, which still follow the traditional cadastral lines of the Public Land Survey System.
