About this map

Burt serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in northern Iowa, where the grid of county roads meets the flowing waters of the East Fork Des Moines River. The town's layout is defined by its core streets like Bush St and Beech St, while the surrounding rural landscape is punctuated by historical resting places including Burt Township Cem, Portland Cem, and Plum Creek Cem.

Water management is a dominant theme of this terrain, evidenced by an extensive network of human-made and natural features. Significant drainage projects like Drainage Ditch Number 69 and Drainage Ditch Number 175 intermingle with local waterways such as Lindsey Creek and Black Cat Cr. This intricate system supports the fertile prairie farmland, while localized bodies of water like Lake Smith, Oak Lake, and the connected Smith Pool and Lowe Pool provide distinct geographic landmarks within the townships of T97N and T96N.
