2015 Map of Corwith

About this map

Corwith sits at the northern edge of this agricultural landscape, where the township grid meets the meandering path of the Boone River. The settlement is defined by its concentrated street plan, including Clinton St and Standring St, serving as a localized hub near the borders of Hancock, Kossuth, Wright, and Humboldt counties. The surrounding terrain is primarily organized by a rigid network of county roads such as Co Hwy B55 and Ames Ave, which partition the land into large sections typical of Iowa's prairie-turned-farmland. Genealogists will find significant local history at the Saint Marys Cem and Corwith Cem just east of the town center, while the Magor Township Cem stands as a lonely landmark further south. The map illustrates the dominance of the river valley's natural drainage against the engineered regularity of the rural road system.
