About this map

The unincorporated community of Lourdes anchors the southern portion of this Howard County landscape, centered around the parish life at Our Lady of Lourdes Cem. This rural district is defined by a grid of agricultural roads, including Lincoln Ave and Lourdes Rd, which connect scattered farmsteads across the rolling Iowa prairie. In the north, Davis Corners serves as a small intersection hub where local travelers once transitioned between the rural townships.

The hydrography of the region is dominated by the upper reaches of the Turkey River, including its western and southern branches. These waterways, such as the W Br Turkey River and the S Br Turkey River, carve gentle valleys through the landscape. Near the northern boundary, Matthias Field provides a specific point of local interest amidst the extensive township and range survey lines that divide t99n r13w and t99n r12w.
