2010 Map of Lime Springs NW

About this map

The Upper Iowa River winds through the northern portion of this Howard County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by riparian corridors and traditional agricultural grids. This 2010 survey illustrates the sparse, rural settlement pattern of the region just northwest of Lime Springs, where the land is largely organized by a network of lettered avenues like Dale Ave and Garden Ave. In the northeast corner, Chester Hill Cemetery sits near River Rd, serving as a significant point of interest for local genealogy and history. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by the Wirrenbreer marsh, a distinct wetland feature that contrasts with the surrounding agricultural plots. Additional drainage for these fields is provided by Staff Creek and Beaver Creek, which cut across the structured road system of named streets and avenues.
