2018 Map of Tama

About this map

The Iowa River corridor defines the landscape between the twin communities of Toledo and Tama in this modern-era survey. The settlement pattern reveals two distinct urban grids separated by the river's broad floodplain and the infrastructure of the Tama Airport. Several significant crossings are documented, including the Toledo Bridge and the Lincoln Highway Bridge, the latter reflecting the area's place along one of the country's most significant early transcontinental routes. Beyond the municipal centers, the landscape is heavily marked by rural history, particularly visible through a network of local burial grounds such as Woodlawn Cem, Saint Patricks Cem, and Oakhill Cem. The surrounding hills are drained by numerous waterways including Richland Cr and Deer Cr, which feed into the primary river valley that remains the central geographic feature of the region.
