2010 Map of Holstein

About this map

Holstein dominates the northern landscape of this Ida County survey, positioned at the intersection of local routes like S Kiel St and German Ave. The settlement’s infrastructure is anchored by the Holstein Post Office, while the surrounding prairie is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid including Dodge Ave and Eagle Ave. This agricultural territory is drained by an intricate network of waterways, most notably Battle Creek and its branches, the West Fork Battle Creek and East Fork Battle Creek. Genealogy researchers will find several significant burial sites across the township, such as the Norwegian Cemetery to the northwest, the OLGC Cemetery just south of town, and the Battle Township Cemetery further afield. These landmarks, alongside smaller tributaries like Ashton Creek and Bacon Creek, illustrate the enduring rural character of this western Iowa region.
