About this map

Hawkeye Point, the highest natural point in Iowa, stands as a prominent landmark on this prairie landscape within the Coteau des Prairies upland. The settlement of Sibley anchors the southwestern corner, showing a detailed grid of streets like 9th St and NW Blvd near the local golf course. To the east, the small community of Allendorf sits along the rail corridor, while Bigelow marks the northern edge of the survey at the Minnesota border.

Water features define the drainage of Osceola County, including the winding paths of the Ocheyedan River and the Little Ocheyedan River. Local history is preserved at the Wilson Township Cem and North Sibley Cem, which serve as vital points for genealogical research. The map also captures the agricultural character of the region, punctuated by Wasmund Slough and several smaller creeks that cross the section lines.
