About this map

Waterman stands as the primary named settlement on this agricultural landscape in north-central Iowa, situated along the north-south corridor of Nelson Ave. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water management features and natural drainages that support the region's farming economy. In the northeast corner, Big Wall Lake provides a significant natural landmark, while the South Fork Iowa River cuts through the southeastern section. The engineering of the land is evident in the presence of named drainage systems like Ditch Number 149 and Ditch Number 3, which work alongside natural watercourses such as White Fox Creek, Buck Creek, and Lyons Creek. This 2010 USGS survey documents the intersection of rural township roads and local hydrology, providing a clear record of the area's property access and land use patterns.
