2010 Map of Olmitz

About this map

North Cedar Creek and English Creek carve through this rural section of Lucas County, Iowa, defining a landscape of agriculture and small settlements. The small communities of Olmitz and Tipperary serve as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads, which are connected by a grid of numbered roads and avenues like 303 TRL and 530 ST. The geography here is marked by significant genealogical landmarks, including Belinda Cemetery, Zion Cemetery, and the distinctly named Old Ireland Cemetery. In the southwest, Lake Morris provides a rare open water feature, while Possum Hollow suggests the varied elevation of the local terrain. This 2010 survey reflects a deeply established rural network where local history is anchored by its many family cemeteries, such as Oxford Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery, scattered throughout the creek valleys.
