About this map

Springville serves as the central hub of this eastern Iowa landscape, where the local road network converges around 1st Ave and Mill Ave. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by agricultural traditions and small, scattered settlements like Whittier, Viola, and Paralta. The area is characterized by the meandering courses of Big Creek and its many tributaries, such as Simmons Creek and Crabapple Creek, which have shaped the placement of farms and cemeteries across the townships.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including the Saint Isodore Cemetery and Springville Cemetery near the main town, as well as more isolated sites like Gillilan Cemetery and Hopewell Cemetery. The map captures the enduring rural structure of Linn County, where landmarks like the Whittier Cemetery and the local Post Office remain as vital touchstones of community identity amidst the expansive creek valleys.
