2016 Map of Lime Creek

About this map

The glacial upland known as the Coteau des Prairies defines the topography of this corner of Murray County, where the headwaters of the Des Moines River and Lime Cr carve through the agricultural landscape. The settlement of Fulda anchors the southwestern portion of the sheet, serving as a local hub near the intersection of several county thoroughfares. Further north, the smaller community of Lime Creek sits along the banks of its namesake waterway, illustrating the historical pattern of village placement near reliable water sources in the late nineteenth-century prairie.
