About this map

Mount Ayr serves as the central hub for this Ringgold County landscape, where the grid of city streets like W Madison St and E Columbus St gives way to a sprawling network of rural section roads. The area's water resources are a defining characteristic, anchored by Loch Ayr and the Old Reservoir to the north, while the Mount Ayr State Fish Hatchery highlights local conservation efforts. To the east, the rural settlement of Lesan sits near the winding course of the E Fork Grand River.

Transport and aviation are represented by the Judge Lewis Field Mount Ayr Municipal Airport located just south of the town center. The terrain is deeply etched by a drainage system including Walnut Cr, Gooseberry Cr, and Lotts Cr, illustrating the typical dissected uplands of southern Iowa. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the interface between the established town site and the surrounding agricultural landscape.
