2018 Map of Littleton

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River and its various tributaries, including the Little Wapsipinicon River, Crane Creek, and Buck Cr, define the landscape of this rural corridor along the border of Black Hawk and Buchanan counties. The settlement of Littleton sits at the river's edge, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural townships. Further south, the map documents the area of Barclay, where land use patterns are interspersed with numerous small cemeteries that reflect the early generations of local settlers. Genealogists and historians can identify several distinct burial grounds, such as Old Barclay Cemetery, New Barclay Cemetery, and the Amish Cemetery. These sites, along with Saint Michaels Cemetery and Union Cemetery, are distributed across the section lines, highlighting the importance of family and faith communities in this part of eastern Iowa.
