About this map

The Des Moines River and its East Fork converge just south of Humboldt and Dakota City, creating a landscape defined by water management and local industry in north-central Iowa. This survey documents the infrastructure supporting these sister cities, from the Humboldt Post Office and Humboldt County Fairgrounds to the Humboldt Fish Hatchery and the Joe Reasoner Dam on Lake Nokomis. The surrounding rural township is marked by a high density of burial grounds, including Indian Mound Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Oakwood Cemetery, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research.

Smaller outlying points like Addison, Jones Siding, and Sylvan Retreat appear alongside established community hubs like the Beaver Township Hall. The map traces the winding paths of Indian Creek, Beaver Creek, and Badger Creek as they feed into the primary river system, while the Humboldt Municipal Airport and Humboldt County Dragway show the modern development of the county's transportation and recreation corridors.
