About this map

Boone River meanders through the northeastern corner of this landscape, carving a wooded valley that breaks the otherwise orderly grid of the Iowa prairie. The terrain is defined by an extensive drainage network, including Ditch Number 94, Ditch Number 46, and Ditch Number 86, which transformed these wetlands into productive farmland. This system of engineered waterways, such as Lateral Number 1, highlights the intensive agricultural development that dominates the region. At the intersection of three counties—Webster, Wright, and Hamilton—the map reveals a rural structure centered on farmsteads and gravel roads. Troy Cem stands as a quiet landmark near the river, while smaller tributaries like Brewers Cr feed into the larger riparian system, illustrating the natural and human-made hydrology of the North Central Iowa plains.
