2018 Map of Tripoli

About this map

Tripoli serves as the primary hub in this portion of Bremer County, oriented around a grid of streets including S Main St and 1st Ave SW. The surrounding landscape is defined by the winding course of the Wapsipinicon River and Crane Creek, which carve through a dense network of township roads. This area is particularly notable for its high concentration of rural burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research. These include the Alcock Cem, Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem, and the County Farm Cem. The map illustrates the persistent 19th-century survey grid, where north-south thoroughfares like Larrabee Ave and Midway Ave intersect with east-west section lines. Smaller watercourses like Quarter Section Run further drain the agricultural tracts that lie between these established family and community landmarks.
