2010 Map of Littleton

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River and Little Wapsipinicon River define this rural landscape in Buchanan County, where their winding courses converge near the settlement of Littleton. The area is characterized by a high density of burial sites that speak to the long-standing community ties of the region, including the Amish Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Saint Michaels Cemetery. The map also preserves the locations of Barclay and Kier, documenting the persistent rural grid of the early 21st century. Smaller watercourses like Buck Creek, Camp Creek, and Crane Creek thread through the agricultural sections, connecting the various cemeteries and farmsteads. This U.S. Geological Survey output reflects the quiet continuity of eastern Iowa’s river-bottom lands and upland farms just prior to modern expansion.
