About this map

The Des Moines River winds through this Emmet County landscape, providing the geographic anchor for the city of Estherville and the surrounding prairie townships. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, Eagle Lake sits within a matrix of section lines and rural routes, while the small settlement of Huntington marks the northern corridor near the state line. The map records a dense concentration of local heritage sites, particularly cemeteries like Oak Hill Cem, East Side Cem, and the Norwegian Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of the region.

Institutional growth is evident at the Iowa Lakes Community College - Estherville Campus, positioned near the river's bend. Infrastructure such as the Fourth Street Bridge and the Estherville Municipal Airport highlights the area's development into a regional hub. To the east, the rural landscape is defined by drainage features like Ditch Number 7 and Brown Creek, illustrating the management of the land for agricultural use.
