2015 Map of Eagle Grove SW

About this map

The Boone River meanders through the eastern portions of this landscape, marking a sharp contrast to the geometric precision of the surrounding agricultural grid. This area, where Webster, Wright, and Hamilton counties meet, is defined by an extensive water management system essential to Iowa's prairie-pothole farming heritage. Numbered drainage features like Ditch Number 49, Ditch Number 46, and Lateral Number 1 carve through the sections, reflecting a century-long effort to transform the wetlands into productive soil. Near the intersection of Eagle Ave and 310th St, the Troy Cem stands as a quiet focal point for local genealogy. The map also traces the winding course of Brewers Cr as it flows south toward the Hamilton County line, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that survive alongside human-engineered channels.
