2015 Map of Holstein

About this map

Holstein serves as the primary hub in this northwestern Iowa landscape, where a dense grid of township roads organizes the surrounding agricultural territory. The town's street names, including S Altona St, S Lubeck St, and S Kiefer St, reflect the heritage of the settlers who established this community in Ida County. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is defined by the drainage network of Battle Cr and its tributaries, such as W Fork Battle Cr and E Fork Battle Cr. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites across the township, including the Norwegian Cem, Olgc Cem, and Battle Township Cem. The transition from the structured residential blocks of Holstein to the wide reaches of the prairie illustrates the enduring rural-urban relationship of the region, while landmarks like Grell Pond provide specific points of local interest.
