2013 Map of Latimer

About this map

The settlement of Latimer occupies the southwestern corner of this Iowa landscape, where a grid of rural roads such as Martin St and Gull Ave connects the small town to the surrounding agricultural prairie. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by drainage and hydrology, featuring the man-made Ditch Number 55 alongside natural watercourses like Otter Cr and Buffalo Cr. To the southeast, the waters of Spring Cr flow toward Beeds Lake, a localized water body that stands out against the rectangular township and range road network. The map reveals the precise spatial relationship between the town’s residential streets, like Polk St, and the essential waterways that define the drainage of this Franklin County region.
