2015 Map of Cloverdale

About this map

The Cloverdale settlement sits atop the highland terrain of the Coteau des Prairies, an elevated plateau that shapes the hydrology of this Northwest Iowa landscape. Situated in the southern reaches of Osceola County, the area is defined by a grid of rural roads and the headwaters of regional drainages. The N Fork Floyd River flows south through the central sections, while Otter Cr and Kappes Cr carve distinct drainage patterns across the northern and western townships. For local historians, the Goewey Township Cem provides a specific point of genealogical interest within this strictly surveyed agricultural region. The map also delineates the boundary between Osceola and O'Brien Counties, documenting the intersection of local jurisdictions at the turn of the 21st century.
