2018 Map of Bancroft

About this map

Bancroft serves as the central hub of this North Central Iowa landscape, situated at the intersection of a grid-like network of county roads and local avenues. The town's layout is clearly defined by its residential streets, including Oak St and E Kossuth St, alongside the local Po. South of the town center, genealogical interests are anchored by Saint Johns Cem and Greenwood Cem, which sit near the winding course of the East Fork Des Moines River. The surrounding terrain is characterized by agricultural drainage and natural waterways, notably Mud Cr and the engineered Drainage Ditch Number 80. In the southeast corner, the Smith Pool provides a distinct hydrological feature within the broader watershed of the Des Moines River system.
