2013 Map of Ledyard

About this map

Ledyard serves as the primary hub of this North Central Iowa landscape, situated in the heart of Kossuth County. The town's grid is anchored by streets such as Edmunds St and Division St, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a highly managed agricultural water system. The meandering course of the W Br Blue Earth River flows through the western and central portions of the sheet, contrasted by the rigid, engineered lines of Drainage Ditch Number 80 and the Union Slough Ditch to the southeast. Near the southern border, the small settlement of Gerled sits along a primary east-west highway corridor, marking a distinct point of interest for those tracing the development of rural crossroads in the region. The map reflects a landscape optimized for large-scale farming, where the section-line road network connects isolated farmsteads to the civic centers of the prairie.
