History of
Cerro Gordo County Cerro Gordo County is a county located in the U.S. state of Iowa. As of the 2020 census, the population was 43,127. Its county seat is Mason City. The county is named for the Battle of Cerro Gordo, which took place during the Mexican–American War. Cerro Gordo County was formed in 1851 and takes its name from the Battle of Cerro Gordo in the Mexican–American War, where General Winfield Scott defeated the Mexican General Santa Anna on April 18, 1847. In 1851 the first white settlers came into the area of the present county and settled on Clear Lake. Four years later, on August 7, 1855, the first elections were held and the first legal proceedings occurred in 1857. In the summer of the same year, Livonia was chosen as the new county seat. In 1858, the seat was returned to Mason City. In 1866, the first courthouse was erected, which was used until 1900. The courthouse still used today opened on November 17, 1960. Cerro Gordo County was the site of the airplane crash north of the city of Clear Lake, in which rock and roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, along with their pilot Roger A. Peterson, were killed on February 3, 1959. The site is in Grant Township, in the northwestern part of the county. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 575 square miles (1,490 km2), of which 568 square miles (1,470 km2) is land and 6.8 square miles (18 km2) (1.2%) is water.

Land descriptions USING THIS PLAT BOOK
The information that is displayed in this Plat Book is published as a guide to landownership in the unincorporated areas of the county. Landowners within rural subdivisions and city limits are not shown. The data contained in this publication has been compiled from public records and third party sources. Due to continual sales and transfers of property, it is impossible to guarantee 100% accuracy. The contents of this book are not intended for legal use in the sales or transfers of property. The display of owner information in the Plat Book is determined by the size and the shape of individual parcels and may include all or part of the following: acreage, owner initials, abbreviated or full name, and secondary owner.
USING THE PUBLIC LAND SURVEY SYSTEM
The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is a way of subdividing and describing land in most of the United States. The system starts with a principal meridian, which is a north-south line. There are 37 principal meridians in the United States. Each principal meridian has a base line that runs east and west through it. Land is described as being east or west of the principal meridian, and north or south of the base line associated with that meridian. Land is typically divided into 6-mile square townships.Townships are described with reference to their principal meridian and base line.
Figure 1: Townships & Ranges
Example: A township is described by its position in relation to the lines called Base Lines and Principal Meridians. A Township is identified by a Township number based on how far N or S it is from the Base Line, and a Range number based on how far E or W it is from the Principal Meridian. See Fig. 1 - T3N R3W is 3 positions N of the Base Line and 3 positions W of the Principal Meridian. Each Township contains 36 Sections, each a mile square. Sections are numbered by starting in the NE with Section 1, W to Section 6, S to Section 7, E to Section 12 and so on until Section 36 is reached in the SE corner. See Fig. 2

CIVIL & CONGRESSIONAL TOWNSHIPS
Civil or Political Township boundaries may not correspond to Townships described by the Public Land Survey System. Civil Townships may follow County boundaries, water features, or other delineations different from the square Congressional Townships defined by the PLSS. Civil Townships may contain all or part of several different Congressional Townships. The light blue areas represent bodies of water.

Sections may be further subdivided into quarter-sections (160 acres) and quarter-quarter sections (40 acres). See Fig. 3 Divisions can also be made by halves and are referred to by N, S, E, or W 1/2. By this method, land can be subdivided and referenced in many ways. Fig. 4 shows several different divisions and their descriptions.

Land descriptions USING METES & BOUNDS Land in the original thirteen colonies, plus Maine, Vermont, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, West Virginia, and parts of Ohio were surveyed with the Metes and Bounds surveying system. Areas in northern Ohio (primarily what originally was the Connecticut Western Reserve) were surveyed with an earlier standard, often referred to as Congressional Survey townships, some of which are just five miles (8 km) on each side instead of six. Hence, there are 25 sections per township there, rather than 36. Metes and Bounds descriptions are usually used for odd Shaped Tracts of land that cannot be easily described using the PLSS description. You can describe any tract using Metes and Bounds, but it is simplier to use PLSS, if possible. Metes and Bounds descriptions use angles of direction and distance of travel to describe a bounding line around a tract of land. The description will always begin and end at the same point. When trying to read a Metes and Bounds style land description, do not interpret it in reverse like a PLSS, but rather in the order it is listed.
Figure 5: Angles of Movement
Angles in a Metes and Bounds description are given in degrees, relating to the compass directions. The four cardinal directions, north, south, east, and west are used and angles in between those directions are given in degrees off of north and south. Figure 5 shows several examples of directions of travel from the center of the circle and how they would be listed in a Metes and Bounds description. Notice that the familiar direction of “southeast” can be shown at “SE or as S45 degrees east.” Figure 6 shows an odd shaped tract of land and how it would be described using Metes and Bounds.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please do not trespass
The boundaries of National, State, and/or County Forests, Parks and Recreation Areas that are shown in this plat book are the dedicated (official) boundaries. Privately owned land may exist within these dedicated boundaries and is not always subject to public access or use. These lands may or may not be leased by DNR. Look for posted signs which identify lands open or closed to public use and contact the landowner when indicated. Respect private landowners’ rights and do not trespass on privately owned land. Your local DNR can provide additional information.
MERGED PARCELS
In an effort to make our books more useful and easier to read, adjacent parcels with the same land owner are often merged together and displayed as a single parcel. The acreage displayed represents the sum total for all of the merged parcels. Please contact the county assessor/auditor for information regarding the boundaries of individual tax parcels.
