About this map

The town of Wesley anchors the eastern edge of this Kossuth County landscape, where the rectilinear geometry of section roads meets a sophisticated water management network. Engineering is central to the terrain here, evidenced by the extensive Drainage Ditch Number 84 and Drainage Ditch Number 177 that supplement natural watercourses like Prairie Cr and Purcell Cr. These improvements speak to the area's intensive agricultural character, transforming the prairie into a productive grid of farmsteads.

Central to the local community are the smaller nodes of Sexton and St. Benedict, the latter featuring the Saint Benedict Catholic Cem. Near Wesley, researchers can locate the Wesley Evergreen Cem along the route of Old Hwy 18. The map documents a classic Midwestern rural structure, defined by townships such as t96n r27w, where the intersection of family-farm access roads and regional thoroughfares like Co Hwy P60 facilitate the local economy.
