About this map

Calmar and Ossian anchor this Winneshiek County landscape, connected by a network of rural roads such as Middle Ossian Rd and Lincoln Hwy Rd. The topography is defined by the winding paths of the Yellow River and its tributaries, including Trout Cr and Nutting Cr. This area is a significant hub for regional education, featuring the Northeast Iowa Community Coll Calmar Campus situated on the southern edge of town.

Local history is preserved across numerous family and community burial grounds, from the Bruvold Farm Cem in the northeast to the concentrated cluster of Saint Aloysius Cem and Calmar-Community Cem near the town center. To the southeast, Ossian is home to Saint Francis DeSales Cem and Hillside Cem, illustrating the settlement patterns and community foundations of this prairie region. The small community of Nordness further highlights the dispersed nature of these early agricultural hamlets.
