2013 Map of Fenton

About this map

Fenton serves as the primary municipal center in this section of northern Iowa, characterized by a structured grid of streets including Oak St, Elm St, and Ash St. The surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by an extensive network of range and township roads, with the small settlement of Fairville located to the southwest. This 2013 survey illustrates the highly managed hydrology of the region, where natural drainage systems like Lotts Cr and Black Cat Cr are supplemented by man-made improvements such as Ditch Number 1. The map reveals a transition between the meandering paths of Cylinder Cr and the rigid section-line road system, reflecting a century of land division and drainage efforts designed to maximize the productivity of the Kossuth County prairie.
