About this map

Genoa Bluff sits at the center of this Iowa County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways. The drainage pattern is complex, with Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Cr carving through the northern sections, while Old Mans Cr and Deep Cr dominate the central plains. This 2018 survey reveals a rural structure maintained by a strict grid of county roads, including Co Hwy F46 and Co Rd F39, which connect isolated homesteads and religious sites.

Genealogists will find several significant burial grounds preserved here, such as the Zion Reformed Church Cem and Genoa Bluffs Cem. The southern portion of the map is notable for the presence of Lake Iowa, a significant water body fed by Devils Run. This area illustrates the persistence of small-town Iowa's ecclesiastical and civic centers, with sites like Smith Cem and Ladora Cem serving as quiet landmarks amidst the agricultural fields.
