About this map

Pocahontas serves as the focal point of this northern Iowa landscape, showing a structured grid of streets including S Main St and SE 6th St. The town's institutional history is anchored by the Sisters of Saint Francis Convent, the Pocahontas Post Office, and the Pocahontas County Fairgrounds. Beyond the town limits, the agricultural character of the region is evident in the precise network of section-line roads like 510th St and 240th Ave, interspersed with named locations such as Learned, Westview, and Rusk.

Water management is a defining feature of the terrain, where natural courses like Lizard Creek and the South Branch Lizard Creek are supplemented by man-made infrastructure, specifically Drainage Ditch Number 169 and Drainage Ditch Number 68. Genealogists will find value in the clear locations of several burial grounds, including Calvary Cemetery, Summit Hill Cemetery, and the more remote Grant Township Cemetery located in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
