2015 Map of Fonda

About this map

Fonda serves as the primary hub of this Iowa prairie landscape, its grid defined by streets like Bridge St and Howard St. The town is situated just north of the border between Pocahontas Co and Calhoun Co, a division that marks the transition into the southern agricultural reaches of the region. To the southeast, the small settlement of Knoke sits along Knoke Rd, while the surrounding terrain is etched by the meandering courses of Cedar Creek and Little Cedar Cr. This 2015 survey reveals an environment where natural waterways and human engineering coexist, notably seen in Drainage Ditch Number 37, which manages the level fields. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for local resting places, including Cedar Cem and Zion Cem, both located just east of the main Fonda townsite.
