2015 Map of Armstrong

About this map

Armstrong serves as the primary center of activity in this section of northern Iowa, situated near the western edge of the Emmet and Kossuth county line. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of glacial wetlands and water bodies, including Goose Lake, Swag Lake, and the larger Iowa Lake along the northern border. These water features, alongside Mud Cr and the East Fork Des Moines River, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the region. The map reveals a strictly regulated grid of section roads and county highways, such as Co Hwy A17 and Co Hwy A21, which partition the agricultural landscape. Outside of the main town, the Swea Township Cem provides a point of genealogical interest for those tracing family history in this rural prairie setting.
