About this map

Quimby sits in the southeastern corner of this Cherokee County landscape, where the Little Sioux River cuts a winding path through the prairie terrain. The town's grid is small and concentrated, bordered by the Quimby Golf Course and defined by the intersection of Co HWY-l56 and S Main St. Beyond the settlement, the geography is dominated by a systematic grid of section roads like 570th ST and K Ave, reflecting the enduring agricultural organization of Northwest Iowa.

Waterways like Rock Cr and Willow Cr meander across the townships, often ignoring the straight lines of the survey roads. A prominent elevation named Mary Hill stands in the northern reaches, serving as a rare named topographic landmark in an area otherwise characterized by steady, rhythmic slopes. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern layout of rural infrastructure, from local connectors like Washta Rd to the river crossings that historically anchored the community.
