About this map

Glacial topography and water management define this portion of Polk County, where the Hill River and Poplar River systems wind through a landscape heavily dotted with wetlands and named lakes. The late 1960s environment is characterized by an extensive network of conservation areas, including the Lessor State Wildlife Management Area and Hill River State Wildlife Management Area. These protected grounds are interspersed with signs of early 20th-century settlement, such as the Townhall and local houses of worship like Vernes Ch and Asphalt Ch. The presence of Oakland Cem and Olivet Cem alongside numerous family-named water bodies like Syverson Lake and Hansen Lake suggests a deeply rooted rural community. Engineered features, including a prominent pipeline and County Ditch No 59, reflect the ongoing efforts to manage the region's complex drainage and resources.
