About this map

New Albin occupies the northeastern corner of this landscape, situated near the intricate waterways where the Upper Iowa River meets the Mississippi River valley. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrography, with Pool Slough, Wood Slough, and Pigpen Slough creating a complex network of wetlands and backwaters. The New Albin Big Lake Public Hunting Area and Duck Lake highlight the importance of these natural bottomlands for conservation and recreation.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds throughout the terrain, including Saint Peters Cemetery, Holy Cross Cemetery, and May's Prairie Cemetery. The transportation network is anchored by the rail corridor at Kains Siding and a series of winding valley roads such as Iowa River Dr and Irish Hollow Rd, which follow the contours of the bluffs and the paths of Clark Creek and Irish Hollow Creek.
