2015 Map of Pocahontas

About this map

Pocahontas serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in northwestern Iowa, where the rectilinear grid of township roads organizes the fertile terrain. The city is defined by a dense residential and commercial core, flanked by the Pocahontas Municipal Airport to the northeast and historical burial grounds including Calvary Cem and Summit Hill Cem. The surrounding sections are primarily open farmland, drained by the meandering Lizard Cr and its tributaries like S Br Lizard Cr. A legacy of industrial transport is visible in the naming of SE Railroad St, while further south, the Grant Township Cem stands as a quiet marker of early rural settlement. This survey also records the essential hydrological infrastructure of the region, specifically Drainage Ditch Number 66, which supports the productivity of this prairie landscape.
