2013 Map of Ladoga

About this map

Ladoga sits at the northern edge of this Taylor County landscape, defined by the intricate drainage systems of the One Hundred and Two River. The hydrology here is remarkably specific, with the W Fork One Hundred and Two River, the W Br One Hundred and Two River, and the Middle Fork One Hundred and Two River all converging or paralleling one another across the terrain. This network of waterways, including Brushy Cr and Daugherty Cr, shaped the local section-line road grid, which follows the cardinal directions through a series of named avenues like Franklin Ave and Idaho Ave. A notable local landmark is Windmill Lake, situated just south of the main settlement. The map illustrates a contemporary agricultural region where transportation is dictated by numbered routes such as Co Hwy-M32, while maintaining the naming conventions of a rural Iowa community.
