2015 Map of Rush Lake East

About this map

Rush Lake and the winding headwaters of local prairie streams define this corner of northwest Iowa. The landscape is marked by the transition between Palo Alto and Pocahontas counties, where a systematic grid of section-line roads such as 450th St and 510th St overlays the natural drainage of Pilot Creek and the North Branch Lizard Creek. This 2015 survey reflects the modern agricultural character of the region, where historical hydrology was often modified for land use, as seen with Ditch Number 36. The map captures a quiet, rural expanse dominated by seasonal wetlands and the steady flow of Cedar Creek in the south, providing a clear record of the area's physical geography and drainage patterns within Townships 94n r34w and 93n r33w.
