2015 Map of Lime Springs

About this map

Lime Springs and the village of Chester anchor this Howard County landscape, where the Upper Iowa River cuts a winding course across the northern terrain. The area is defined by a dense grid of rural township roads and the convergence of several significant waterways, including Beaver Cr and the headwaters of the Turkey River system. Historical interest centers on Lidtke Mill along the river banks north of Lime Springs, a site reflecting the early industrial reliance on local water power. Further east, Pleasant Hill Cem serves as a primary genealogical landmark for the surrounding farming community. The map's detailed topography illustrates the transition between the river valleys and the higher agricultural plains, segmented by the southern branches of the N Br Turkey River and W Br Turkey River.
