About this map

Rockwell City and its immediate surroundings occupy the southwestern corner of this Iowa landscape, defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and several significant waterways. The town's municipal footprint includes the Rockwell City Municipal Airport and the Rockwell City Bridge, while the local history is preserved in a high concentration of burial grounds such as Rosehill Cem, Saint Francis Cem, and the unique Reformatory Cem located near the edge of town.

Further north, the community of Twin Lakes sits near N Twin Lake, providing a distinct geographic contrast to the prairie-like terrain that dominates the central portion of the map. The small settlement of Richard is positioned in the eastern half, surrounded by a network of drainage systems including Drainage Ditch 13 and Purgatory Cr. The drainage patterns and the presence of numerous small cemeteries like Hope Cem and Leith Cem reflect the rural township structure of Calhoun County during this modern era.
