2010 Map of Ocheyedan

About this map

The Ocheyedan Mound rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of northwest Iowa, south of the township of Ocheyedan. This 2010 map details a predominantly agricultural landscape defined by the winding course of the Ocheyedan River and the Little Ocheyedan River. The local road grid, including Silver Ave and 110th St, segments the terrain into well-defined sections typical of the region's farming history. Rural institutional life is represented by several burial grounds, including the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery, Horton Township Cemetery, and Ocheyedan Township Cemetery, providing critical reference points for genealogical research. The hydrology of the area is anchored by Rush Lake and its Rush Lake Outlet, which feeds into the larger river system. Conservation efforts are noted at Wolters Prairie, preserving a fragment of the native landscape amidst the vast grid of grain fields.
