2018 Map of Rush Lake West

About this map

Leverett sits at the intersection of Buena Vista and Clay counties, serving as a primary point of interest in this agricultural landscape. The area is defined by its complex hydrography, where the headwaters of several regional water systems emerge from the prairie. The N Raccoon River flows through the southwestern corner, while N Br Lizard Cr and Cedar Cr drain the central and eastern portions. Local history is centered at the Garfield Township Cem, located near the intersection of 330th Ave and 480th St. The map illustrates a high-density grid of county roads, such as Co Hwy N 14 and Co Line Rd, which facilitate movement across the state's characteristic township-and-range land divisions. Natural features like Rush Lake and Pickerel Lake provide breaks in the expansive farm plots that dominate the four-county junction.
