About this map

The town of Thompson occupies the southern edge of this Winnebago County landscape, where the grid of rural roads meets the headwaters of the northern prairies. In this agricultural region, water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the channelized path of Drainage Ditch Number 64 and the meandering reaches of Middle Br Blue Earth River and Little Buffalo Cr. These waterways dictate the flow of a terrain otherwise defined by the systematic township and range boundaries of t100n r25w and its neighbors.

Local landmarks provide clear points of reference for genealogists and local historians, including the Trinity Lutheran Church Cem in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Transportation and commerce are represented by the Friesenborg & Larson Airport, tucked among the sections of cultivated fields. The map also records the course of Pike Run as it cuts across the southeastern corner, illustrating the complex drainage network that supports this part of northern Iowa.
