2018 Map of Parkersburg

About this map

Parkersburg and Aplington anchor this central Iowa landscape, positioned along a prominent rail corridor north of the Butler Co and Grundy Co line. The map records a series of established rural settlements, including the community of Buck Grove and the site of Eleanor. This area is defined by the winding drainage of Beaver Creek and its many tributaries like S Beaver Cr and Phelps Cr, which carve through the agricultural grid. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites documented here, such as Oak Hill Cem, Salem Cem, and the Parker-Burial Grounds. The placement of Saint Patricks Catholic Cem and Buck Grove Cem further reflects the heritage of the small farming communities that have long sustained this region.
