2015 Map of Zaneta

About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Grundy and Black Hawk county border is defined by its deep-rooted Lutheran heritage and the meandering paths of the Black Hawk Creek watershed. This 2015 survey highlights the rural community of Fredsville, centered around the Fredsville Evangelical Lutheran Church Cem. The terrain is segmented by a precise grid of farm roads such as W Ridgeway Ave and Co Rd D25, which serve the small settlements of Dike and Zaneta. Numerous burial grounds, including Saint Mary's Cem, Zion Lutheran Cem, and Cedar Valley Cem, provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research in this Midwestern farming heartland. The natural drainage of the land is visible through the North Fork Black Hawk Creek and Willow Cr, which cut across the geometric township lines.
