2022 Map of Melvin
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The town of Melvin anchors the western edge of this agricultural landscape in northwestern Iowa, situated along the eastern rise of the Coteau des Prairies. This geographic plateau influences the local drainage patterns, with the Little Ocheyedan River and Ocheyedan River trending southeastward across the prairie. The map provides a clear look at the early 21st-century section line road network, where routes like Co Hwy A30 and Co Hwy A48 intersect a grid of gravel avenues. Centrally located within the township grid is the Baker Township Cem, a vital landmark for genealogists tracing pioneer families in this part of Osceola County. Further south, the headwaters of Waterman Cr begin to carve through the till plains, eventually crossing the border between Osceola and O'Brien counties.
