1971 Map of Reinbeck

About this map

Black Hawk Creek winds through the northern reaches of this rural landscape, carving a path through the intersection of Grundy, Black Hawk, and Tama counties. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a region defined by its agricultural grid and the crucial rail corridors that sustained it. The Chicago and North Western line crosses the northeastern corner near Hicks, while the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad bisects the southern townships. The town of Reinbeck serves as the primary hub, showing its established street grid and proximity to Mosquito Creek. Further south in Grant township, a small cluster of community life is anchored by Amity Ch and the neighboring Amity Cem. Several other family and community burial grounds, including Weiss Cem and Lincoln Cem, are scattered across the townships, providing vital markers for genealogical research in this corner of the Iowa prairie.
