2015 Map of Tama

About this map

Toledo and Tama anchor this central Iowa landscape, positioned just north of the wide valley where the Iowa River flows eastward. The map documents the residential and commercial street grids of these adjacent communities, including several local landmarks such as the Lincoln Highway Bridge and Cherry Lake. West of the primary settlements, the Mesquakie Indian Settlement occupies a significant portion of the river valley, illustrating the enduring cultural geography of the region. The surrounding agricultural uplands are dissected by numerous waterways including Richland Cr and Deer Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet provides precise locations for several regional burial grounds, including Woodlawn Cem and the Saint Patricks Cem. This 2015 survey reflects a landscape where modern infrastructure like the Toledo Municipal Airport and Tama Airport coexists with the established rural road network of the Iowa interior.
