2010 Map of Lester

About this map

Lester serves as the primary hub of this corner of northwest Iowa, centered at the intersection of Hastings St and several key section roads. The landscape is defined by the meandering path of Mud Creek, which flows south through the center of the quadrangle, carving a slight break in the otherwise rigid agricultural grid. For local historians and genealogists, two significant burial sites are documented: Hillside Cemetery located just north of the town center, and the Apostolic Christian Cemetery situated further south along Eagle Ave. The presence of the Lester Post Office anchors the town's social and administrative identity within this rural landscape, while the extensive network of alphabetically and numerically named roads—such as Dogwood Ave and 170th St—illustrates the systematic organization of Lyon County farmland.
