2015 Map of Holstein SW

About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape of western Iowa is defined by its sectional grid and rural landmarks along the Woodbury Co Ida Co line. These borderlands between Midway and Holstein are anchored by generational markers of the farming community, including Saint Paul Lutheran Cem in the north and Saint Marys Cem to the south. The drainage patterns of the Loess Hills region are evident in the winding courses of Big Cr, Moorhead Cr, and Aldrich Cr, which carve through the high ground of T87N and T86N. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, showing how the township and range system dictates the placement of farmsteads and the network of county roads that serve them.
