About this map

Lake City anchors the southwestern corner of this Iowa landscape, where a dense residential street grid is centered on the intersection of W Main St and S Center St. The town's layout reflects a classic midwestern agricultural hub, with the surrounding countryside organized into a rigid section grid of roads like Co Hwy N41 and 350th St. To the north, the small community of Sherwood sits at the crossing of Dakota Ave and Co Hwy N41, representing the smaller rural nodes that historically supported the regional grain economy.

The natural drainage of the territory is defined by the winding course of Lake Creek, which cuts through the agricultural sections in contrast to the engineered efficiency of Drainage Ditch 10 and Drainage Ditch 198. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Lake Creek Cem positioned near the creek’s path in the eastern portion of the survey. This 2018 data provides a clear record of the modern infrastructure and rural land patterns of Calhoun County.
