2013 Map of Lu Verne

About this map

The town of Lu Verne serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in northern Iowa during the early 2010s. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road network, where routes like Co Hwy-P60 and Co Hwy-C12 facilitate local commerce across the flat prairie. This period shows a highly engineered water management system, characterized by the extensive development of Drainage Ditch Number 117, Drainage Ditch Number 116, and Drainage Ditch Number 103, which channel water into the natural course of Prairie Cr. These modifications reflect the area's intensive agricultural land use, allowing for productive farming around the smaller settlement of Hanna. The grid-based layout of Lu Verne's residential streets, including Garfield St and Linn St, provides a clear view of the town's early 21st-century footprint.
