2013 Map of Estherville

About this map

The Des Moines River winds through the heart of northern Emmet County, anchoring the city of Estherville and its surrounding agricultural landscape. This survey illustrates the town's grid-pattern expansion along the riverbanks, where the Fourth Street Bridge provides a primary crossing point between the north and south sectors of the community. Beyond the city limits, the terrain is defined by a series of drainage works including Ditch Number 79 and Ditch Number 7, which support the intensive farming characteristic of this region. To the north, the small settlement of Huntington sits near the headwaters of local tributaries, while Eagle Lake remains a significant natural basin. The presence of the Riverside Hills Ski Area and the Estherville Municipal Airport highlights the area's modern development as both a regional hub and a recreational destination.
