2013 Map of Farmington

About this map

The Des Moines River anchors the southwestern corner of this Iowa landscape, where the settlement of Farmington is situated along its eastern bank. The town's grid is clearly defined, bordered by Indian Lake and adjacent to the small community of Plymouth. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural transition from riverfront commerce to the upland agriculture of Van Buren County. Moving northeast, the terrain is shaped by an intricate drainage system including Lick Cr and Little Sugar Cr, which weave through a network of section-line roads and timbered pockets like Shimek Forest Pond Two. Historically significant place names such as Sharon and Primrose persist as crossroads in this agricultural heartland. The presence of Coal Mine Hollow Dr points to the area's subterranean resource history, while the Riverview Campground reflects the modern recreational value of the river valley.
