2018 Map of Lakota

About this map

The Middle Br Blue Earth River winds through this northern Iowa landscape, defining the hydrology of a region heavily shaped by agricultural engineering. Evidence of this transformation is found in the extensive network of artificial waterways, including Drainage Ditch Number 82, Drainage Ditch Number 9, and the Union Slough Ditch, which redirect water across the flat terrain of Kossuth County. The town of Lakota serves as the primary hub, where local infrastructure is concentrated near the Po and the intersection of 190th Ave and 430th St. To the east, the small settlement of Stevens and the Saint Matthews Cem provide critical touchpoints for family historians and genealogists tracing the rural residents of this prairie borderland.
