2022 Map of Rush Lake West

About this map

Garfield Township Cem serves as a quiet landmark near the center of this rural township grid where Clay, Palo Alto, Buena Vista, and Pocahontas counties converge. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage patterns of the N Raccoon River and Cedar Cr, alongside prominent glacial basins including Rush Lake and Pickerel Lake. In the southwestern corner, the small settlement of Leverett sits along the roadway, providing a rare point of concentrated habitation in an area otherwise characterized by a precise system of section-line roads such as Potato Farm Rd and Co Hwy N 14. The map illustrates the persistent structure of Iowa's agricultural division, where the natural course of the N Br Lizard Cr winds through a strictly surveyed landscape of section corners and township lines.
