About this map

Wellsburg serves as the central hub of this Grundy County landscape, showing the town's grid and community landmarks as they appeared in 2018. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several rural church and cemetery sites that anchor the surrounding farmland. These include Saint Pauls Lutheran Church Cem and the Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church Cem to the north, along with First Christian Reformed Cem and Shiloh Cem near the town center.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the various forks of S Beaver Cr in the north and Black Hawk Cr to the south. Near the southern edge of the survey, Tower Rock stands as a notable landmark. The rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System are clearly visible, with a grid of rural routes like Co RD d25 and 185th ST connecting the dispersed farmsteads of the Iowa prairie.
