2022 Map of Seneca

About this map

The East Fork Des Moines River winds through this section of northern Iowa, defining the drainage patterns for the surrounding agricultural landscape. The map highlights the early 21st-century rural layout of the region, where the small community of Seneca and the neighboring settlement of Ringsted serve as local hubs. This area is deeply tied to its Lutheran heritage and family history, evidenced by the concentration of cemeteries and religious sites such as Blackjar Lutheran Cem, Saint John Lutheran Cem, and the Seneca Township Cem.
