About this map

Prairieburg and Waubeek anchor this Linn County landscape, where the Wapsipinicon River and Buffalo Creek converge. The topography of the early 1970s reveals a quiet agricultural region defined by its watercourses and small rural hubs. An Old Railroad Grade cuts through Boulder township, marking the legacy of earlier transportation networks that once connected these dairy-farming communities. Several family and community burial sites, including Prairieburg-Boulder Cem and St Josephs Cem, provide essential data points for genealogical research in this part of eastern Iowa.
