2018 Map of Algona

About this map

Algona serves as the regional anchor for this north-central Iowa landscape, situated where the East Fork Des Moines River winds southward toward the smaller settlement of Irvington. The town’s grid is well-defined by a dense network of residential streets such as E State St and W Call St, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by agricultural sections and significant water features including Black Cat Creek and Oak Lake. This 2018 survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds documented across the quadrangle, from River View Cem and Calvary Cem on the northern edge of town to Laurel Hill Cem near the southern boundary. The inclusion of Hungry Hollow Rd suggests the varied topography that breaks the predominantly flat plains typical of Kossuth County.
