2015 Map of Lake Park SE

About this map

Coteau des Prairies defines the rolling upland character of this Iowa landscape, where the headwaters of Stony Creek and the Little Sioux River begin to carve through the prairie. The region is marked by a strict section-line road grid, including Co Hwy A30 and Co Hwy A48, which bypasses small, localized landmarks vital to local heritage. Genealogists and historians will find the Excelsior Township Cem and Westport Cem preserved within this rural framework. In the northwest, the map captures the transition from open fields to the shoreline of Stony Lake, illustrating how water drainage patterns dictated the placement of early townships across the Dickinson and Clay County line.
