2010 Map of Belle Plaine SW

About this map

Holiday Lake serves as a central geographic feature in this section of rural Poweshiek County, defined by its intricate shoreline and the Holiday Lake Dam at its southern edge. The surrounding terrain is a network of drainage systems including North Walnut Creek, Walnut Creek, and Rock Creek, which carve through the agricultural landscape. The map reveals the persistence of early local history through the preservation of rural burial grounds, such as Squires Cemetery to the north and Kent Cemetery located just south of the lake near Kent Church Rd. The grid-like road system, with thoroughfares like 350th Ave and 310th Ave, reflects the organized land partitioning characteristic of the Iowa countryside, while Big Bear Creek skirts the southwestern corner of the quadrangle.
