2010 Map of Lone Rock

About this map

Lone Rock serves as the primary hub of this North Central Iowa landscape, situated along the upper reaches of Calamus Creek. The region is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, such as 330th St and 100th Ave, which partition the fertile agricultural land. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting sites like the Fenton Township Cemetery and the Union Township Cemetery. Of particular note is the location of Johnson's Settlement Post Office in the southeastern quadrant, a marker of earlier settlement patterns near the winding path of Black Cat Creek. The persistence of these rural institutions, including the Lone Rock Post Office, highlights the enduring nature of these small farming communities. To the west, the landscape is further drained by Fourmile Creek near the small settlement of Lotts Creek, illustrating the intricate drainage network essential to the local prairie-turned-farmland.
