About this map

The agrarian grid of O'Brien County defines this 2010 survey, centered on the small communities of Primghar and Gaza. As the county seat, Primghar serves as a regional hub, featuring the O'Brien County Fairground and Primghar Airport on its eastern edge. The map captures the highly organized township system of the Iowa plains, where nearly every section is bounded by a gravel or paved road like Sorrel Ave and 400th St.

Genealogists will find significant local-history value in the placement of several rural burial grounds, including Steuck Cemetery, Center Township Cemetery, Doyle Cemetery, and Friends Cemetery. The natural landscape is shaped by the subtle drainage of the Missouri River watershed, with Dry Run, Lake Creek, and Ginger Creek carving shallow paths through the farmland. Other notable local landmarks include the O'Brien County Home and the small settlement of Elcho to the east.
