2018 Map of Armstrong

About this map

Armstrong serves as the primary hub of activity in this northern Iowa landscape, positioned near the intersection of several significant local thoroughfares and the East Fork Des Moines River. The town's grid is well-defined by residential avenues like 2nd Ave and S 4th Ave, transitioning quickly into the section-line road network of Emmet and Kossuth counties. This 2018 survey illustrates a region shaped by agricultural drainage and glacial remnants, where natural features like Goose Lake and Swag Lake coexist with engineered waterways such as Ditch Number 35. To the southeast, the Swea Township Cem provides a point of genealogical interest for those tracing family roots in the neighboring township. The landscape is further defined by the meandering path of Mud Cr as it flows toward the river valley, marking the boundary between the prairie uplands and the river bottomlands.
