2015 Map of Fenton

About this map

The agricultural landscape of north-central Iowa is defined by its rectilinear road network and the meandering watercourses of Black Cat Cr and Lotts Cr. The town of Fenton serves as the local hub, established with a clear street grid including Oak St, Maple St, and Ash St. The region's genealogy is reflected in several distinct burial grounds, such as Saint Johns Cem and United Methodist Cem, which sit alongside the section lines north of the settlement. Further south, the community of Fairville is marked near Saint Lukes Cem, illustrating the historical pattern of small, dispersed prairie settlements. The map highlights the extensive drainage infrastructure typical of the era, such as Ditch Number 1, which modified the natural flow of Cylinder Cr to support the productive farmland along the border of Palo Alto and Kossuth counties.
