2013 Map of Wellsburg

About this map

Wellsburg serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Grundy County, where a highly organized grid of range roads and township lines facilitates a legacy of Midwestern farming. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of S Beaver Cr and its various tributaries, including the Middle Fork S Beaver Cr and N Fork S Beaver Cr, which cut through the fertile till plains. Local landmarks like Tower Rock and the Meadowbrook Golf Course provide geographic points of interest within the expansive rural sections. The map records several outlying named locations such as Palermo, Herbert, and Highland, reflecting the persistent settlement pattern of small community clusters that once dotted the Iowa countryside. Modern infrastructure is represented by the heavy corridor of Highway 20, which bisects the northern half of the sheet.
