About this map

Humboldt and Dakota City sit at the geographic heart of this 2018 survey, where the East Fork Des-Moines-River converges with the main stem of the Des Moines River. The landscape is defined by the winding river valleys and an extensive network of managed water systems, including Drainage Ditch Number 33 and Drainage Ditch Number 25, which support the surrounding agricultural lands. This modern record of the region captures the interface between the twin towns and the water-managed plains of the Humboldt and Webster county line.

Several historic burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, such as Union Cem, Saint Mary's Cem, and Oakwood Cem near the town centers, along with the more remote Pioneer Cem and Hovey Cem to the south. The presence of the Humboldt Municipal Airport and the grid of residential streets like Sumner Ave and Lincoln Ave illustrate the established infrastructure of these central Iowa communities.
