About this map

Agricultural trade centers and river-valley settlements define this mid-century portrait of west-central Iowa. The Fort Dodge industrial and transport hub anchors the eastern edge of the survey, where the Des Moines River and Boone River converge. To the west, the landscape transitions into the rolling drainage basins of the Little Sioux River and Maple River. The map captures the region’s development as a network of rail-linked prairie towns, from Storm Lake and its namesake water body to the crossroads at Carroll and Jefferson.
