2018 Map of Lime Springs

About this map

The Upper Iowa River winds through the northern portion of this Howard County landscape, passing the small settlement of Chester before flowing east toward Lidtke Mill. This area near the Minnesota border is defined by its drainage basins, with the Turkey River and its various branches, including the W Br Turkey River and N Br Turkey River, carving through the southern sections. In the center of the map, Lime Springs serves as a local hub, situated where the terrain begins its descent toward the river valley. The landscape is structured by a rigorous grid of section lines and township boundaries like t100n r12w, reflecting the agricultural layout typical of northern Iowa. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Pleasant Hill Cem east of Lime Springs and trace the historic path of River Rd as it follows the banks of the Upper Iowa.
