About this map

The city of Waterloo serves as the focal point of this Monroe County survey, situated at the junction of several key regional roads and surrounded by a landscape of rolling terrain and winding waterways. The community is anchored by historic sites such as Saints Peter and Paul Cem and Kolmer Cem, reflecting its deep-rooted local history. To the south, smaller rural settlements like Wartburg and Burksville are connected by a network of rural routes, including Maeleytown Rd, which traverses a region defined by the drainage basins of Fountain Creek and Rockhouse Cr.

Water management is prominent throughout the area, evidenced by a series of significant reservoirs including Waterloo Reservoir Number 1, Waterloo Reservoir Number 2, and the Waterloo New Reservoir. These features, along with numerous private lakes like Bissell Lake and Lake Loudel, illustrate the reliance on local water sources for the agricultural and residential growth of the county. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller, family-associated burial grounds like Lemen Cem and Moores Cem.
