About this map

The Wapsipinicon River meanders through the northeastern reaches of this Bremer County landscape, providing a natural contrast to the rigid agricultural grid of the Iowa heartland. Near the center of the sheet, the city of Tripoli is the primary hub, showing a detailed street layout including 7th Ave SW and S Main St. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding paths of Crane Creek and Quarter Section Run, which cut through the fertile farmland of the townships.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey is exceptionally dense with burial sites. A series of community landmarks, including Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem and Saint Johns United Church of Christ Cem, are scattered along the rural roads. Farther north, the Alcock Cem and the Le Roy Township Cem reflect the early settlement patterns of the region, while the County Farm Cem points to the area's social history and municipal heritage.
