2015 Map of Fielding

About this map

The settlement of Fielding sits near the heart of this rural landscape where the W Fork Little Sioux River meanders through the northwest corner of Iowa. The map documents a highly structured section-line grid of gravel and paved roads, such as Almond Ave and Co Rd C44, that define the agricultural character of Cherokee and Plymouth Counties. This 2015 survey reveals the persistence of local landmarks that anchor the community's history, including Trinity Cem in the north and Mount Pleasant Cem further east. Small waterways like Fiddle Cr, Whisky Cr, and Badger Cr cut through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that have dictated farmstead placement and land use for generations in this part of the state.
