2013 Map of Seneca

About this map

The E Fork Des Moines River defines the rural character of this Emmet County landscape, meandering through a patchwork of agricultural sections north of Forsyth. The river valley is punctuated by public lands, including the East Des Moines Access Public Hunting Area and the Seneca Access Public Hunting Area, highlighting the region's emphasis on conservation and outdoor recreation. A structured grid of gravel and paved roads, such as 200th St and 570th Ave, connects the scattered settlements of Seneca and Forsyth. Notable infrastructure like the Des Moines River Bridge and smaller tributaries like Crooked Run and Black Cat Cr further illustrate the drainage patterns and transportation network of this northern Iowa farming territory during the early 21st century.
