About this map

Pocahontas serves as the central hub for this late 2010s survey, characterized by the rigid section-line grid of the Iowa prairie. The town's layout is centered on Court Sq and extends along a series of numbered avenues and streets, including W Elm Ave and Se Railroad St. Outside the town limits, the landscape transitions into large-scale agricultural blocks, bisected by the meandering paths of Lizard Cr and the S Br Lizard Cr.

Genealogical interest is found in the local burial grounds, including Calvary Cem and Summit Hill Cem on the eastern edge of the settlement, and the more isolated Grant Township Cem to the south. The presence of Drainage Ditch Number 66 reflects the long-standing engineering efforts to manage the high-water table of the region, while the Pocahontas Municipal Airport occupies the northeastern corner of the quadrangle.
