2015 Map of Colwell

About this map

Colwell serves as the primary community hub in this region of northern Iowa, situated amidst a precise grid of sections and rural roads. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Cedar River in the southwest and the subtle drainage of Beaver Cr, which meanders through the central acreage. This 2015 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of the territory, where the intersection of Co Hwy T72 and local routes like 140th St anchor the local geography. Genealogy researchers will find significant landmarks in the outlying areas, including Saint Patricks Cem to the northeast and Beckwith Cem near the southern boundary. The map clearly delineates the convergence of four counties—Mitchell, Howard, Floyd, and Chickasaw—marking a unique jurisdictional corner that has shaped local land records and property lines for generations.
