About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Iowa prairie is defined by a rigorous section-line grid and a network of engineered waterways including Drainage Ditch 125 and Drainage Ditch Number 3. This 2018 survey documents the corner where Pocahontas, Webster, and Calhoun Counties meet, a region characterized by high-productivity farmland and small, dispersed community markers. Significant for local historians, several rural burial grounds serve as the primary landmarks in this expanse, such as Lizard Cem and Saint Patricks Cem in the north, and Saint Josephs Cem in the southeast corner. The natural hydrography persists through the meandering paths of Lizard Creek and the South Branch Lizard Creek, which cut across the geometric road network established by Co Hwy P19 and Co Rd C66.
