About this map

Lone Rock serves as the primary hub of this North Central Iowa landscape, situated within a grid of section lines and rural roadways. The terrain is defined by a complex hydrographic network, where meandering natural waterways like Black Cat Creek and Calamus Creek are supplemented by engineered water management systems such as Drainage Ditch Number 69. This intersection of natural prairie drainage and agricultural improvement is characteristic of the region's development.

Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds preserved in the township outskirts, including Fenton Township Cemetery and the Lotts Creek Lutheran Cemetery near the settlement of Lotts Creek. Farther south, the Union Township Cemetery sits along the section roads above Fourmile Creek, providing a clear record of the community's early township organization and family heritage.
