2010 Map of Saratoga

About this map

Saratoga and Maple Leaf anchor this Howard County landscape, which is defined by a grid of rural section roads and the winding course of the Little Wapsipinicon River. The terrain is marked by significant local landmarks such as Lyla Marsh and the Lyla Marsh Dam, which interrupt the agricultural pattern. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for locating the Saratoga Township Cemetery, Maple Leaf Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and Howard Cemetery. The hydrography is further detailed by the presence of Mead Creek and Elk Creek, tracing the drainage patterns of the Iowa prairie. The road network, including Maple Leaf Rd and numerous named avenues like Douglas Ave and Jade Ave, reveals the systematic division of land that has persisted for generations.
