2018 Map of Little Rock

About this map

Little Rock serves as the primary hub for this portion of Lyon County, situated near the headwaters of the Little Rock River. This landscape is defined by its rectilinear grid of township roads and agricultural sections, but the meandering path of Argo Slough and various drainage creeks like Tom Cr break the geometric pattern. For local historians and genealogists, the map is particularly useful for its documentation of rural burial grounds, including the Zion Cem and the First Baptist Church Cem located to the south. The layout of Little Rock itself shows a traditional small-town core anchored by Main St, with residential streets like Leland St and Clothier St forming a tight cluster amidst the surrounding farmland. The presence of Grant Township Cem further east highlights the distributed nature of early settlement in this corner of northwest Iowa.
