About this map

The E Fork Des Moines River winds with intricate oxbows through this agricultural section of Kossuth County. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, where natural waterways like Prairie Cr and Mud Cr are supplemented by man-made engineering such as Drainage Ditch Number 69. This network of water management reflects the region's intensive conversion of prairie wetlands into highly productive farmland. The map reveals a precise grid of rural roads, including 380th St and 80th Ave, which partition the terrain into the uniform square-mile sections characteristic of the Midwest. Apart from the meandering river corridor, the terrain is notably flat, allowing for the vast agricultural infrastructure visible in the southern reaches near Calamus Cr.
