2015 Map of Bancroft

About this map

Bancroft serves as the primary hub of this North Central Iowa landscape, situated where the grid of rural township roads meets a network of local streets such as W Ramsey St and E Grove St. The town's historical foundations are marked by Greenwood Cem and Saint Johns Cem on its southern edge, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research. The terrain is defined by the wandering path of Mud Cr, which meanders southeastward through the prairie towards the East Fork Des Moines River. In the southeastern corner, the Smith Pool and Drainage Ditch Number 80 reflect the region's managed water systems and low-lying topography. This survey captures the structured agricultural layout of Kossuth County, where the township boundaries of t98n r29w and t98n r28w meet, illustrating the intersection of natural waterways and human engineering.
