About this map

The settlement of Chester anchors the northeastern corner of this Howard County landscape, situated along the winding banks of the Upper Iowa River. This agricultural region is defined by a grid of rural roads and the drainage patterns of several local waterways, including Staff Cr, Beaver Cr, and Stuffer Cr. Genealogists and local historians will find the Chester Hill Cem north of the river, serving as a primary landmark for the surrounding township. The terrain is structured by a systematic layout of avenues and streets, such as River Rd and Dale Ave, which connect the scattered farmsteads and fields that characterize this portion of northern Iowa. The map documents the persistent rural character of the area, where the economy remains tied to the land and the river that cuts through the northern sections of T100N R14W and T100N R13W.
