The Des Moines River and its forks define the drainage of this north-central Iowa region during the mid-1950s. Fort Dodge serves as a major hub for industry and transportation, evidenced by the extensive Illinois Central Gulf and Chicago & North Western rail networks that crisscross the prairie. The landscape is dotted with small agricultural settlements like Pocahontas, Laurens, and Humboldt, each linked by the emerging post-war highway system including U.S. 20 and U.S. 169.
