2010 Map of Plainfield

About this map

The settlement of Plainfield occupies the northeast quadrant of this study, positioned near the winding path of the Cedar River. As a localized center for the surrounding agricultural community in Bremer County, the town is home to the Plainfield Post Office and the nearby Willow Lawn Cemetery. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with the Shell Rock River cutting across the southwest corner while Beaver Creek, Curry Creek, and Horton Creek thread through the township's grid of section roads. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of rural landmarks, including several dispersed burial grounds such as Antioch Cemetery, Spring Lake Cemetery, and Pleasant Valley Cemetery. The relationship between the meandering riverbanks and the rigid agricultural parcels highlights the adaptation of local infrastructure to the varied riparian terrain of the Spring Lake area.
