About this map

Wellsburg sits as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the mid-2010s, anchored by a grid of rural roads and cemetery sites that speak to the area's deep-rooted community history. The town's layout is defined by streets such as McAdoo St and Emery St, while the surrounding countryside is marked by several significant burial grounds, including the Wellsburg Cem and the First Christian Reformed Cem to the west.

Waterways carve distinct paths through the township sections, with Beaver Cr and its various forks dominating the northern half of the quadrangle. In the south, the terrain includes Tower Rock near Black Hawk Cr, a notable landmark in an area otherwise characterized by steady stream drainage from Holland Cr and Pine Cr. This survey illustrates the persistent importance of the section-line road system, such as H Ave and Co Rd D25, in organizing the Grundy County farm economy.
