2018 Map of Oelwein SE

About this map

The agricultural grid of Buchanan County dominates this 2018 survey, where the township boundaries of t90n r9w, t90n r8w, t89n r9w, and t89n r8w converge. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of several critical Iowa waterways, including the winding course of W Br Buffalo Cr and its eastern counterpart, E Br Buffalo Cr, which feed toward Buffalo Cr. For those researching local history or family lineage, the Spangler Cem remains a notable landmark in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map details a dense network of rural roads such as Lawrence Ave and Nathen Bethel Ave that partition the landscape into traditional sections, illustrating the persistent importance of the section-line road system in modern Midwestern land use. Smaller tributaries like Malone Cr and Harter Cr provide further geographic definition to the terrain.
