About this map

The Iowa River carves a winding path through this central Iowa landscape, defining the character of the borderlands between Marshall and Tama Counties. In the southeastern corner, the community of Le Grand sits near the riverbanks, anchored by the Le Grand Friends Cemetery and the Le Grand Bridge. To the north, the settlement of Green Mountain serves as a local hub for the surrounding agricultural grid, flanked by Burnett Creek and Nickolson Creek.

A notable industrial presence is found at Quarry, where the eponymous feature and the Quarry Bridge mark a specialized pocket of activity along the river. The map is particularly rich for family historians, documenting several denominational and community burial sites such as the Iowa River Brethren Cemetery, Quinn Cemetery, and Wallin Cemetery. These scattered landmarks, connected by roads like Quarry Road and Garwin Road, illustrate a rural economy deeply tied to the fertile river valley and its natural resources.
