2017 Map of Osceola

About this map

Osceola and the northern outskirts of Stromsburg anchor this survey of Polk County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by a dense grid of section roads and a sophisticated network of private water management. The terrain is notably punctuated by numerous named basins, including Burritt Reservoir, Mentink Reservoir, and Norman Leach Reservoir, illustrating the critical role of water storage for the surrounding farms. In the southeastern portion of the map, the headwaters of the Big Blue River wind through the township, joined by Davis Cr. The town of Osceola is shown in detail, with its residential core organized around streets like Nebraska St and Central St, while the expansive rural sections are partitioned by arterial routes such as Center Rd and 130 Blvd.
