2015 Map of Lanesboro

About this map

The town of Lanesboro serves as the central hub for this rural Carroll County landscape, situated where the North Raccoon River winds through the southern terrain. This 2015 survey illustrates a highly structured agricultural grid, where county roads like Co RD e13 and Co HWY n41 define the property boundaries and movement across the plains. Waterways such as Marrowbone Cr, Elk Run, and Purgatory Cr cut through the geometric farm sections, creating natural drainage patterns that have dictated local land use for generations. For those researching family history, the map identifies several local burial sites, including Lanesboro Cem, Bishop Cem, and Salisbury Cem, which are tucked away near these creek beds and section lines. A notable landmark in the south is the Vador Bridge, which provides a crossing over the river near Artesian Lake, illustrating the persistent importance of river crossings in this part of Iowa.
