About this map

The Cedar River carves a winding path through this portion of Mitchell County, Iowa, defining the local topography and historical settlement patterns. Along its banks, the Otranto Bridge connects the rural community of Otranto to the surrounding agricultural grid. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of country cemeteries, such as Ogden Cem, Priem Cem, and the Rustad Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research and family history in this prairie region.

Saint Ansgar stands as the primary hub in the south, featuring a structured street plan from W 1st St down to W 7th St, alongside an Industrial Park Dr that reflects the town's modern economic footprint. Small outposts like Mona, Lyle, and Toeterville dot the map, while water features like Otter Cr, Deer Cr, and Turtle Cr provide drainage for the expansive farmland that fills the spaces between these early Iowa settlements.
