2022 Map of May City

About this map

The May City settlement serves as the primary hub in this agricultural landscape of Osceola County. Situated near the Ocheyedan River, the town's grid of local roads like 225th St and Warbler Ave connects the outlying farmsteads across the undulating terrain of the Coteau des Prairies. The river system, including the Little Ocheyedan River and the seasonal Dry Run, dictates the local topography and historical drainage patterns. For local historians and genealogists, the presence of the Harrison Cem and Mennonite Cem provides clear markers of the community’s early settlement and diverse cultural heritage. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary with Dickinson Co to the east, illustrating how the section lines and township system defined the development of Northwest Iowa's rural corridor.
