About this map

The East Fork Des Moines River winds through this Humboldt County landscape, shaping the rural character of the region. The settlement of Livermore sits in the northern section, defined by its traditional street grid including 2nd Ave and 9th Ave. To the south, the smaller community of Arnold marks a distinct point of habitation amidst the expansive agricultural plots that dominate the terrain.

Evidence of local heritage and land management is seen in the presence of Mount Calvary Cem and Hands Grove Township Cem, serving as critical touchstones for genealogical research. The land's hydrological history is documented through natural features like Lotts Creek and Bloody Run, as well as engineered waterways such as Drainage Ditch Number 35, illustrating the long-term efforts to manage the prairie soils for farming.
