2010 Map of Buffalo Center SW

About this map

Little Buffalo Creek and Buffalo Creek meander through this agricultural landscape in Kossuth County, defining the drainage patterns of the rural Grant Township area. The terrain is structured by a precise grid of gravel and paved roads, reflecting the systematic land division characteristic of northern Iowa. Institutional landmarks provide historical anchor points for the surrounding farming community, including the Immanuel Lutheran Church and its adjacent Immanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery in the southwest corner. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, the Grant Township Cemetery sits quietly among the fields. Aviation infrastructure is represented by the Buffalo Center Airport, while the northern reaches of the map show early water management efforts through Drainage Ditch Number 1. This survey captures the steady, enduring layout of rural Iowa as it appeared in the early 21st century.
