2015 Map of Lourdes

About this map

Lourdes and Davis Corners anchor this rural landscape in Howard County, where the upper reaches of the Turkey River system carve through the Iowa prairie. The map documents a highly structured agricultural grid defined by long-established section lines and township boundaries, including t99n r13w and t98n r12w. For those tracing local heritage, Our Lady of Lourdes Cem serves as a significant landmark at the southern end of the sheet, situated near the intersection of Lourdes Rd and 175th St. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the W Br Turkey River in the northeast and the S Br Turkey River in the southeast, illustrating how the natural hydrology interacts with the strict geometric layout of county roads like Kent Ave and March Ave.
