2013 Map of Hobarton

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Kossuth County unfolds in this 2013 survey, centered on the unincorporated community of Hobarton. Situated west of the city of Algona, the area is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid that supports the region's farming economy. Waterways such as Fourmile Creek and Hine Creek cut across the geometric fields, providing natural drainage toward the E Fork Des Moines River which clips the eastern edge of the map. Transport and commerce are concentrated along the corridor of US Highway 18 and the adjacent rail line. Near the eastern border, the Algona Municipal Airport and the residential developments of Timber Ests and Woodlyn Ave indicate the modern expansion of the neighboring county seat into the surrounding prairie.
