2013 Map of Jackson NW

About this map

The Des Moines River winds through the southwestern corner of this quadrangle, anchoring the city of Jackson, where local life is defined by civic landmarks and transportation hubs. This 2013 survey reveals a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and deliberate engineering, with the S Fork Elm Cr and a series of managed waterways like County Ditch Number Fourteen and Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen cutting through the agricultural grid. On the outskirts of the city, the Jackson County Fairgrounds and the Jackson Speedway serve as regional gathering points, while the Jackson Municipal Airport and the corridor of Us-71 facilitate travel and commerce. The map provides a clear view of how public infrastructure and water management systems have organized the Jackson County terrain over time.
