2010 Map of Palmer

About this map

Palmer serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, where the Palmer Post Office and Saint Josephs Cemetery anchor the local community. The surrounding terrain is defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and a sophisticated network of water management, including Drainage Ditch Number 169, Drainage Ditch Number 116, and Drainage Ditch Number 164. These engineered channels supplement the natural flow of Lizard Creek and its North Branch, illustrating the intensive modification of the prairie for farming. Near the eastern edge, Lizard Lake provides a natural landmark, while the small settlement of Buda and the Saint Johns Cemetery reflect the dispersed rural populations of Pocahontas County in the early 21st century.
