About this map

The settlement of Fielding serves as a central anchor for this agricultural landscape in Cherokee County, where the topography is defined by the winding course of the West Fork Little Sioux River. The river system is fed by numerous smaller tributaries, including Whisky Creek, Fiddle Creek, and Badger Creek, which carve through the grid-like pattern of rural roads. This network of thoroughfares, such as A Ave and 580th St, organizes the productive farmland of Northwest Iowa.

For local history researchers, the map identifies key community landmarks that have persisted over generations. Trinity Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Cemetery are clearly marked, providing essential points of reference for genealogical studies. The drainage patterns of Pierson Creek and the river suggest the natural contours that influenced early land use and settlement placement before modern infrastructure reached this corner of the state.
