About this map

Manson serves as the primary hub in this mid-2010s landscape, situated at the southern edge of the county line separating Pocahontas and Calhoun counties. The town's grid is well-established, anchored by Saint Thomas Cem and the expansive Rose Hill Cem to its southeast. Northward, the landscape is defined by the rural community of Palmer and a network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, including S Br Lizard Cr and Drainage Ditch Number 47.

Genealogists will find a significant density of burial grounds throughout this prairie region, from the Saint Pauls American Lutheran Cem near the county border to the isolated Swedish Cem further west. The topography is shaped by its drainage patterns, with E Cedar Cr and Lake Cr cutting through the fields. In the southwestern corner, the map captures a portion of Twin Lakes, showing the transition from intensive farmland to lakeside development.
