2018 Map of Holstein

About this map

Holstein serves as the primary hub for this section of Ida County, characterized by its organized grid of residential streets like S Main St and Kastner Dr. The surrounding prairie landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, most notably the forks of Battle Creek. Local heritage is preserved in the rural cemeteries that dot the township lines, including the Norwegian Cem in the northwest and the OLGC Cem situated just south of the city limits. This survey illustrates the modern agricultural layout of the region, where a dense network of county roads such as German Ave and Carriage Ave connect isolated farmsteads. The hydrology of the area, featuring Silver Cr and W Fork Battle Cr, dictates the subtle contours of the terrain and the placement of the rural Battle Township Cem.
