2010 Map of Sexton

About this map

Sexton and Saint Benedict define the rural character of this Kossuth County landscape, where the Jefferson Highway corridor and a grid of section roads connect small agricultural communities. The topography is influenced by a network of slow-moving waterways including Prairie Creek and Purcell Creek, while the presence of Drainage Ditch Number 177 reflects the historical effort to manage the prairie wetlands for farming. This 2010 survey is a valuable resource for genealogists, as it identifies the exact locations of the Wesley Evergreen Cemetery and the Saint Benedict Catholic Cemetery. The map captures the quiet persistence of these Iowa settlements, centered around their churches and cemeteries, amidst an expansive agricultural grid that has changed little over the decades.
