About this map

The Des Moines River meanders through the heart of this Jackson County landscape, defining the topography of an area dominated by agricultural drainage and prairie lakes. The complex water management system is documented through numerous engineered waterways, including Judicial Ditch Number Eightytwo, Judicial Ditch Number Twentythree, and Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyseven, which channel water across the township lines of t103n r35w and t103n r36w. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the East Belmont Cem and West Belmont Cem on opposite sides of the river valley provides significant points of interest for family research. Natural features like Boot Lake and Clear Lake sit alongside established county routes such as Co HWY 16 and Co RD 77, illustrating the 21st-century rural infrastructure north of Jackson.
