2022 Map of Silver Lake

About this map

Logan Township Cem stands as a quiet anchor in this prairie landscape, reflecting the agricultural roots of the border between Clay and Palo Alto counties. The area is defined by its glacial hydrology, where several prominent water bodies like Silver Lake and Virgin Lake dot the township sections. The rectilinear grid of county roads, including Co Hwy B40 and Co Hwy N 14, illustrates the enduring structure of Iowa's rural land management. Significant drainage features such as Elk Cr and Ditch Number 6 demonstrate the modifications made to the natural wetlands to support the surrounding farmland. Smaller roads like S Shore Dr and the uniquely named Hwy To Heaven provide access to the lakeshores, while Elk Lake remains a central geographic landmark within these farming townships.
