2013 Map of Fonda NE

About this map

Agricultural patterns and water management define this portion of Pocahontas County, where the settlement of Shirley sits amidst an organized grid of section roads. The landscape is primarily shaped by the winding course of Cedar Cr, which flows through the center of the sheet, and the headwaters of Little Cedar Cr in the southwest corner. The transition from natural stream beds to engineered drainage is evident through features like Ditch Number 21 and Drainage Ditch Number 74, reflecting the intensive land reclamation common in this part of Iowa. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, capturing the intersection of local routes like 170th Ave and 550th St within the expansive prairie landscape, while the far eastern edge is marked by the S Br Lizard Cr.
