2013 Map of Lebanon

About this map

Lebanon and Highland Park anchor this Sioux County landscape, which is defined by a strictly organized section-line road grid and an active agricultural economy. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of northwest Iowa, where named operations like the Van Voorst Dairy Farm represent the continued importance of large-scale dairy and livestock farming. The terrain is drained by several meandering watercourses that break the rigid geometry of the grid, including Sixmile Cr, Dry Cr, and Spring Cr. These creek beds provide the only significant variation in a landscape otherwise dominated by the intersections of named thoroughfares like Dogwood Ave and 400th St, reflecting the persistent land-use patterns that have shaped the region since the late 19th century.
