2010 Map of Hamburg

About this map

Hamburg sits at the nexus of the Missouri River and the Nishnabotna River, a landscape defined by significant hydrological engineering in Fremont County. The terrain reveals a sophisticated network of water management, including the Iowa Drainage Ditch, Main Ditch Number Six, and the High Creek Ditch, reflecting the region's agricultural intensity and flood control efforts. Local genealogy and community infrastructure are concentrated in the north, where Saint Marys Cemetery and Hamburg Cemetery lie near the town center and the Hamburg Post Office. The map also details McKissick Island, a geographically unique area south of the main settlement. Transportation and recreation are represented by the Hamburg Airport and the Hamburg-Mitchell Access on the riverbank, while Greys Lake provides a natural landmark amidst the surveyed sections and drainage channels.
