About this map

The Iowa River carves a winding path through this central Iowa landscape, framing the namesake community of Steamboat Rock and the northern edge of Eldora. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition between the river's wooded bluffs and the surrounding agricultural uplands. Of particular interest to genealogists are the numerous scattered burial sites, ranging from established grounds like Steamboat Rock Cem and Hazel Green Cem to smaller, isolated markers such as the Leverton Family Plot and Egbers Family Plot.

Transport and industry are represented by the crossing at Coal Bank Hill Bridge and the small settlement of Cleves to the north. Smaller tributaries, including S Beaver Cr, Otter Cr, and Elk Cr, feed into the main river valley, while the presence of Upper Pine Lake near the southern border indicates the region's recreational geography. The map also clearly delineates the Hardin Co and Grundy Co boundary.
