About this map

Laurens serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Pocahontas County, defined by a rigid section-line road grid and the meandering path of Cedar Cr. The town's layout is centered around streets like E Main St and Walnut St, with Laurens Cem and Sacred Heart Cem situated on its eastern edge. These burial grounds provide a tangible link for genealogists researching the families who settled this prairie region.

The surrounding terrain is heavily modified for drainage, as evidenced by Ditch Number 21 cutting across the landscape to the south. Small clusters of development like Ware appear as minor junctions along the county roads. The drainage patterns of Lizard Cr in the east and the presence of Potato Farm Rd in the north reflect the deep-rooted connection between the local water table and the region's productive agricultural industry.
