2015 Map of Prairieburg

About this map

Prairieburg and Waubeek anchor this portion of Linn County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Buffalo Creek. The settlement pattern follows a grid of rural roads such as Jordans Grove Rd and Frozen Hill Rd, interspersed with numerous family and community burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high density of historic cemeteries, including Prairieburg - Boulder Cem, Saint Josephs Cem, and Harts Cem, which serve as vital markers of the area's early families. The southern reach of the map features the crossing at Matsell Bridge over Big Cr, while the small community of Jordans Grove sits near the western edge. The drainage networks of Heatons Cr and Indian Cr further detail the local topography of these eastern Iowa townships.
