2013 Map of Paullina

About this map

Paullina serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in O'Brien County, where a strictly ordered grid of section roads defines the movement of modern rural life. The settlement's street plan is anchored by Main St and W Commerce St, with the Paullina Municipal Airport positioned northeast of the town center. Outside of the residential and commercial core, the map is dominated by the meandering paths of local waterways that contrast sharply with the straight-line precision of the road system. A series of small streams, including Mill Cr and the descriptively named Whiskey Cr, cut across the northern and southern sectors of the quadrangle. These drainage patterns, including Nelson Cr and Dry Run, illustrate the natural topography that underlies the intensive farming operations of this part of northwest Iowa.
