2013 Map of Plessis

About this map

Plessis and the surrounding agricultural landscape of O'Brien County are defined by a grid of rural avenues and a network of wandering waterways. The settlement of Plessis serves as a central point in this prairie region, situated just north of Plessis Cr. To the west, the community of Max sits along a primary east-west corridor, positioned between Sorrel Ave and Starling Ave. The landscape is etched by several drainage systems, including the Floyd River in the northwest and Waterman Cr to the northeast. Further south, the terrain is shaped by Epping Cr, Little Waterman Cr, and Mill Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring structure of Iowa's township system, where named roads like Tyler Ave and Van Buren Ave provide access to the expansive farmsteads that drive the local economy.
