2018 Map of Shellsburg
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
The Cedar River corridor dominates this portion of eastern Iowa, winding through a landscape of wetlands and riverine lakes like Mid Lake. The settlement of Palo sits near the river's western bank, while the community of Shellsburg is positioned further west along Bear Creek. This map illustrates the transition from the riparian lowlands of the river valley to the upland farm plots of the Benton and Linn county line. Notable topographic features include The Hogback, a prominent rise north of the creek, and several historical burial grounds including Strawn Cem and Spring Grove Cem. Infrastructure like the Shellsburg Bridge and Chain Lakes Bridge provides vital crossings for a network of local roads that connect these agricultural and riverside communities.
