About this map

The Upper Iowa River winds through the northern reaches of this Howard County landscape, establishing a meandering path that defines the local topography near Kendallville. This 2013 survey illustrates the transition from the structured residential grid of Cresco in the southwest to the rural expanses and agricultural sections dominated by north-south thoroughfares like Yankee Ave and 333rd Ave. Small settlements and named locales such as Osbourne and Morgan are situated among a complex network of tributaries, including Silver Cr and Minor Cr.

The hydrography of the region is particularly dense, with Bigalks Cr and Cold Water Cr feeding into the larger river system. A notable geographic feature, Black Falls, sits along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. For researchers, the map provides a contemporary view of these rural drainage patterns and the established road network that has served these northeast Iowa communities for generations.
