About this map

The agricultural landscape of Osceola County is defined by a grid of rural roads and the subtle drainage of the Little Rock River and its tributaries. This 2015 survey captures the area between Little Rock and the western edge of Sibley, showing a terrain shaped by the Coteau des Prairies upland. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites preserved in the landscape, including Pleasant View Cem and the Hope German Presbyterian Cem near Argo Slough.

The map details a transition from the prairie hills to the managed farmland, where creeks like Otter Cr, Whitney Cr, and Wagner Cr wind through the section lines. On the eastern edge, the street layout of Sibley begins to emerge, featuring 10th St W and 11th St W near Saint Andrews Cem. This record provides a clear look at the modern rural infrastructure and land use in this Iowa-Minnesota border region.
