2010 Map of Hospers

About this map

Hospers serves as the primary hub of activity in this section of Sioux County, where the town grid is oriented along the diagonal path of the railroad and the Floyd River. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape deeply rooted in the agrarian section-line grid of northwest Iowa, punctuated by small community clusters and an unusual density of burial grounds. Near the town center, researchers will find Saint Anthonys Cemetery and the Hospers Memorial Cemetery, while the Hospers Cemetery sits just to the west. To the west, the settlement of Newkirk remains a distinct landmark, marked by its own Newkirk Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Willow Creek wind across the eastern townships, providing a natural contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding gravel roads and farmland.
