2018 Map of Fenton

About this map

Fenton serves as the primary hub of this north-central Iowa landscape, where a grid of rural roads and county highways defines the agricultural character of the region. The map captures a transition between natural waterways and engineered drainage, with the meandering course of Lotts Cr and Black Cat Cr contrasted by the straight lines of Ditch Number 1. This area, split by the Palo Alto Co Kossuth Co boundary, reflects a century of land management and settlement. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the townships, including Saint Johns Cem and the United Methodist Cem near the town center, as well as Saint Lukes Cem further south near the small settlement of Fairville. The detailed road network, from Co Hwy B14 to local routes like 580th Ave, illustrates the connectivity of this prairie farming community.
