2011 Map of Fessenden East

About this map

The James River snakes through this section of the Great Plains, its course interrupted by the Fessenden Dam. This 2011 survey illustrates a strictly organized landscape of section lines and agricultural grids, characteristic of central Wells County. Much of the activity is centered around the intersection of County Hwy 1 and various numbered streets, including 15th St NE and 23rd St NE. For those researching local history or genealogy, the presence of the Concordia Cemetery east of the river provides a specific point of interest. The map documents the enduring rural road network, from named routes like Hope Ave NE to established corridors such as County Rd 2, reflecting a territory deeply rooted in its pastoral layout.
