2015 Map of Lakota

About this map

Lakota anchors the southwestern corner of this Kossuth County landscape, where the town's street grid, including Smith St, meets the expansive agricultural reaches of northern Iowa. The territory is defined by a highly managed hydrological network designed to drain the prairie, featuring the winding Middle Br Blue Earth River alongside engineered channels like Drainage Ditch Number 82 and the Union Slough Ditch. This 2015 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure follows the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like Co Rd A21 and 190th Ave forming a precise lattice across the terrain. Local heritage is preserved at sites such as Saint Matthews Cem and the small settlement of Stevens, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the community's footprint.
