About this map

The Rock River meanders southward through this rural borderland, crossing from Minnesota into Iowa amidst a grid of section lines and gravel roads. This 2016 survey documents the agricultural landscape of Rock County and Lyon County, where the terrain is punctuated by small tributaries like Ash Creek and Elk Cr. The mapping reflects a region defined by its long-standing farming infrastructure, with a systematic network of numbered avenues and streets providing access to isolated farmsteads.

Local history is preserved in sites such as Eastside Cem and Ebenezer Cem, while modern aviation is represented by the Quentin Aanenson Field in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map tracks primary transit corridors including Co HWY 16 and Co HWY 15, which serve as the backbone for the area's movement. This topographical record captures the persistent rural character of the Midwest plains at the start of the 21st century.
