About this map

Algona serves as the focal point of this 2013 survey, situated where the E Fork Des Moines River winds through the landscape of northern Iowa. The city's grid is well-defined, bordered by significant local landmarks such as the Kossuth County Fairgrounds on its southern edge. This map illustrates the transition from the structured residential blocks of the town center to the vast agricultural sections of Smith Prairie.

The surrounding territory is characterized by a dense network of sectional roads and watercourses, including Black Cat Cr and Purcell Cr. Recreational and conservation interests are marked by the Plum Creek Dam Access and Lake Smith to the north. The survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of Kossuth County, tracing the pathways of named routes like River Rd and Plum Creek Rd as they connect the dispersed farmsteads and natural drainages typical of the region.
