2022 Map of Armstrong

About this map

The town of Armstrong serves as the focal point of this northern Iowa landscape, situated near the confluence of local drainage systems and the East Fork Des Moines River. This survey illustrates a highly organized agricultural grid defined by numerous county roads and avenues that cross the boundary between Emmet Co and Kossuth Co. The geography is characterized by several significant water bodies, including Iowa Lake on the northern border and the marshy expanses of Goose Lake. These natural features are integrated into a network of managed waterways like Ditch Number 35, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on land drainage for farming. On the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the Swea Township Cem provides a point of genealogical interest within the rural landscape, while the interior is drained by the winding course of Mud Cr.
