About this map

Highlandville and Locust are the primary small-town anchors in this Winneshiek County landscape, where the road network follows a transition between upland plateaus and deep-cut creek valleys. The settlement of Locust features the Locust School, a local landmark at the intersection of Locust Rd and 337th St. Public access to the outdoors is well-represented through specialized conservation zones, including the North Bear Creek Access Area, South Bear Creek Access Area, and Mestad Spring Access Area.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with N Bear Cr and S Bear Cr carving paths through the terrain toward the northeast, while Paint Cr drains the southern portion of the quadrangle. Smaller settlements like Sattre and Springwater are situated along the lower edges of the map, connected by rural routes such as Sattre Ridge Rd and Springwater Rd. This survey reflects a modern rural Iowa character where agricultural land use is punctuated by protected riparian corridors and spring sites like Mestad Spring.
