2015 Map of Traer

About this map

Traer serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Tama County, characterized by a dense network of sectional roads and meandering waterways. The township layout is defined by numerous drainage systems, including Wolf Creek and Twelvemile Creek, which carve through the Iowa countryside. Cultural and genealogical markers are prominent throughout the area, notably at Buckingham Cem to the north of town and West Union Cem to the east. The local transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Traer Municipal Airport, while the religious and community history of the settlement is reflected at Saint Paul's Catholic Cem. This survey illustrates the persistent rural patterns of the region, where named branches like Little Coon Cr and Simpson Cr dictate the placement of farmstead access and regional transit routes.
