About this map

Westport occupies the southeastern corner of this Brown County landscape, where the local road network of 120th St and 386th Ave intersects the winding path of the Elm River. The geography is defined by a complex hydraulic system of prairie drainages and wetlands, notably including Willow Creek Lake and the feeder stream Willow Cr to the west. In the northwest, the seasonal course of Dry Run cuts through the high plains, illustrating the subtle elevation changes characteristic of the James River Valley region. These features reflect a legacy of agricultural settlement, where rural life centered on small hubs like Westport and its associated Westport Cem. The grid-like survey lines of t126n r64w and surrounding townships overlay a terrain where water management and land use have long been dictated by the seasonal flow of the river and its tributaries.
