About this map

Laurens serves as the primary hub of activity in this 2010 topographic survey of Pocahontas County, positioned at the intersection of a rigid grid of rural roads and the local aviation center at Laurens Skyways Airport. The town’s social and historical fabric is anchored by the Laurens Post Office and two distinct burial grounds on its eastern edge, Laurens Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery.

The landscape is defined by the agricultural geometry of Northwest Iowa, where nearly every section is accessible via named thoroughfares like Potato Farm Rd and 430th St. In the southeastern corner of the map, the small settlement of Ware sits near the headwaters of Lizard Creek, while Cedar Creek winds through the western half of the quadrangle, providing a natural break in the otherwise meticulously organized prairie farmlands.
