2013 Map of Postville NW

About this map

Moneek anchors the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape in northeastern Iowa, situated along the undulating drainage of the N Fork Yellow River. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural terrain defined by its watercourses, where the Yellow River flows through the southern reaches and the Trout River cuts across the northern corners. The land is partitioned by a meticulous grid of local roads, many of which bear local family or descriptive names like Oil Well Rd and Lincoln Hwy Rd. Smaller tributaries such as Trout Cr and Upper Br Yellow Cr intersect the farm plots, while Walden Pond provides a localized landmark in the southeast. The map reflects the enduring rural character of Winneshiek County, showing how modern infrastructure like Frankville Rd and Co Rd-W46 has integrated with the historical path of the rivers.
