About this map

Ackley sits at the intersection of a vast agricultural grid, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural landscape in North Central Iowa. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, highlighting local landmarks like the Ackley Post Office and the nearby Ackley Municipal Airport. This 2010 survey reflects a settled landscape where three distinct burial grounds—Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Oak Wood Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery—mark the community's long-standing roots.

The hydrology of the region is defined by the branching tributaries of the Beaver Creek system. To the north, Faulkner remains a distinct point of interest along North Beaver Creek, while the southern reaches are drained by the Middle Fork South Beaver Creek and South Beaver Creek. The map provides a clear picture of the modern road network, including HWY d15 and Co HWY s56, which link the town to its neighboring townships and the traveler-oriented Y's Motel and Campground.
