2015 Map of Le Grand

About this map

The Iowa River meanders through this agricultural landscape on the border of Marshall and Tama Counties, anchoring the small settlements of Le Grand, Quarry, and Green Mountain. This modern survey documents a rural environment shaped by several small creeks, including Timber Creek, Burnett Cr, and Davisons Cr. The distribution of burial grounds across the townships is particularly dense, offering a rich resource for genealogical research with sites such as the Iowa River Brethren Cem, Le Grand Friends Cem, and Quinn Cem. Infrastructure remains tied to the river's path, evidenced by the Le Grand Bridge and Quarry Bridge. While the grid of section roads like Garwin RD and Quarry RD defines the farming parcels, the preservation of numerous named cemeteries like Rock Valley Cem and Bowles Cem provides a clear link to the area's early family history and congregational life.
