About this map

The East Fork Des Moines River defines the rural character of this Kossuth County landscape, meandering southward through a grid of agricultural section lines and county roads. At the crossroads of 105th St and Montana Ave, the settlement of Saint Joseph serves as a local anchor, accompanied by Saint Joseph's Catholic Cemetery. Further north, the smaller community of Galbraith sits along the northern tier of the map near 150th St.

The terrain is largely shaped by the alluvial plains of the river and its tributary, Lotts Creek, which joins the main branch in the southern portion of the quadrangle. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial grounds including Union Cemetery and Damman Cemetery. The presence of Kohlhaas Airport near the center of the sheet highlights the integration of light aviation into the modern agricultural economy of north-central Iowa.
