About this map

Thompson anchors the southern edge of this Winnebago County landscape, situated where the local grid of gravel roads and sections meets the winding course of Little Buffalo Cr. The terrain is defined by its agricultural geometry and the vital management of water, evidenced by the Drainage Ditch Number 64 and the natural meanders of the Middle Br Blue Earth River in the central township blocks. Genealogists will find the Eden Township Cem in the northeastern corner, a quiet landmark amidst the vast fields of northern Iowa.

Small-scale infrastructure like the Friesenborg & Larson Airport highlights the importance of aviation in this rural corridor. The drainage patterns of Pike Run and other tributaries illustrate the low-lying nature of the land, which has been carefully managed for over a century of farming. This map provides a detailed view of the section lines and township boundaries, including t100n r25w, that dictate the movement and history of this borderland region.
