2013 Map of Lawler

About this map

Lawler serves as the primary population center in this part of Chickasaw County, situated amidst a geometric grid of rural roads that define the agricultural landscape. The town's layout is centered near the intersection of N Lincoln St and E Grove St, with several small watercourses like Simpson Cr and Plum Cr draining the surrounding fields. The eastern half of the map is marked by long, straight north-south arteries such as Union Ave and Stanley Ave, while the southwestern quadrant is defined by the meandering course of the E Fork Wapsipinicon River. In the north, the small locales of Jacksonville and Nansen sit at major section intersections, reflecting the traditional township-and-range settlement pattern. This 2013 survey illustrates the persistent importance of the rural road network in maintaining the connectivity of these small farming communities.
