About this map

The Weldon River and its meandering tributary system define the landscape of northern Grundy County in this modern survey. The town of Spickard serves as the primary hub, where the Spickard Post Office and Spickard Cemetery sit amidst a grid of rural routes. To the south, the smaller settlement of Tindall is located near the Old Channel Weldon River, indicating a shift in the river's historical course. The area is exceptionally dense with family-named burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research.

Water management is evident through features like the Steinhoff Lake Dam and Veatch Lake Dam, which create small reservoirs such as Williams Pond. Away from the river valleys, the terrain is partitioned by a network of named roads including NE 100th St and NW Ruff Ln. The map also identifies the locality of Wyandotte in the south, positioned near the Atteberry Cemetery and Brainard Cemetery. Numerous streams like Muddy Creek and Honey Creek weave through the landscape, supporting the region's agricultural character.
