About this map

Pocahontas County’s agricultural grid and complex water management systems define this landscape in the late 2010s. The map illustrates the region's heavy reliance on engineered drainage, featuring Ditch Number 21 and Drainage Ditch Number 24 alongside natural waterways like Cedar Cr and the S Br Lizard Cr. These features highlight the transition of the Iowa prairie into a highly productive farming corridor. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies two significant community landmarks: Elfsborg - Dover Township Cem and Saint Columbkille's Cem. The strictly organized road network, including arterial routes like Co RD n28 and Co RD n33, provides a clear view of the rural township structure that has persisted since early settlement.
