About this map

Traer serves as the central hub of this Tama County landscape, situated where the northern prairies meet the drainage networks of the Iowa River valley. The town's grid is bounded by a series of cemeteries that anchor the local heritage, including Buckingham Cem to the north and Saint Paul's Catholic Cem on the southern edge. The Traer Municipal Airport sits just north of the residential center, reflecting the modernization of this agricultural community.

The surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate web of waterways, most notably Wolf Creek and Twelvemile Creek, which have carved subtle valleys through the township. Further south, the map details the headwaters and tributaries of the Coon Creek system, including Little Coon Cr and Coon Cr. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the rural section lines and road networks, such as 180th St, that continue to organize the agricultural life of the region.
