2015 Map of Marengo

About this map

Marengo stands as the central hub of this 2015 survey, situated just south of the winding Iowa River. The town's grid is remarkably detailed, showing numerous residential streets and civic landmarks such as the International Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Calvary Cem on its southern outskirts. The surrounding landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Big Bear Creek and Hilton Cr, which shape the local drainage and agricultural patterns. This map serves as an excellent resource for understanding the rural-urban interface in Iowa County, capturing several family and community burial grounds like Titler Cem, Conn Cem, and the Norwegian Cem. To the north, across the Benton Co Iowa Co line, the terrain includes Hannen Lake and several named creeks, providing a clear picture of the diverse wetland and riverine environments that characterize this portion of the Cedar River basin.
