About this map

The Little Sioux River and Ocheyedan River converge in the southern reaches of Spencer, Clay County, creating a riparian corridor that shapes the local landscape. This 2015 layout reveals the modern urban footprint of Spencer, showing a dense grid of streets like W Milwaukee St and E 19th St that transition into the sprawling agricultural sections of the north. Significant local landmarks include the Spencer Municipal Airport and several dedicated burial grounds such as Riverside Cem and Northlawn Memorial Cem.

To the north, the small settlement of Fostoria sits along the primary highway artery, surrounded by sections of the Public Land Survey System including t97n r36w. The hydrology of the area is further defined by Little Meadow Cr and Petes Pond, illustrating the importance of drainage and water management in this part of Iowa. Researchers can trace the path of Co Hwy B14 and Co Rd B24 as they connect these rural and municipal centers.
