2013 Map of Aurelia

About this map

Aurelia serves as the central hub of this Iowa landscape, where a rigorous grid of section-line roads meets the meandering drainage of the Maple River. This 2013 survey illustrates the intersection of precision agriculture and natural hydrology, as the town's street plan, including Main St and Pearl St, transitions abruptly into the broad rural expanses of Prescott Prairie. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing how Pitcher Cr and Maple Cr carve through the till plains, while Larson Lake provides a localized water feature in the northeast. For those studying the evolution of Cherokee County, the map provides an exact record of early 21st-century infrastructure, from named rural avenues like W Ave to the specific residential layout of the community.
