2013 Map of Pocahontas

About this map

The Pocahontas County Fairgrounds and the central Court Sq anchor this 2013 layout of the county seat, revealing the organized grid of a classic Iowa prairie town. The map documents a community defined by its religious and civic institutions, most notably the Sisters of Saint Francis Convent located south of the main commercial district. The surrounding landscape is heavily modified for agriculture, characterized by an extensive network of managed waterways like Drainage Ditch Number 169 and Drainage Ditch Number 66, which support the productive farmland between the winding paths of Lizard Cr and the S Br Lizard Cr. Smaller named localities such as Westview, Rusk, and Learned appear at rural intersections, while the Pocahontas Municipal Airport occupies the northeastern edge of the city.
