About this map

The town of Livermore serves as a central hub in this northern Humboldt County landscape, situated at the junction of two major rail lines. Both the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads intersect here, illustrating the town's historic importance as a shipping point for the surrounding agricultural townships of Delana, Humboldt, Rutland, and Grove.

Hydrological features dominate the rural sections, with the meandering East Fork Des Moines River cutting across the eastern portion of the map. Smaller waterways like Lotts Creek, Trulner Creek, and Bloody Run drain the prairie, while landmarks such as Mt Calvary Cem, Lotts Park, and the smaller settlement of Arnold to the south provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of these Iowa communities.
