2015 Map of Littleton

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River and its numerous tributaries dominate this Buchanan and Black Hawk County landscape, where the small settlement of Littleton sits at a critical bend in the river. This mid-2010s survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrography, featuring the confluence of the Little Wapsipinicon River, Buck Cr, and Crane Creek. The distribution of cemeteries across the townships provides significant genealogical value, recording the locations of the Old Barclay Cem, New Barclay Cem, and the Amish Cem. The local road network, including Clayton Blvd and Littleton Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the organized agricultural layout of the Iowa interior. Smaller watercourses like Camp Cr snake through the southern sections, while the northern reaches are marked by the steady course of the Little Wapsipinicon River as it moves toward its junction with the main channel near the village center.
