2010 Map of Storm Lake

About this map

Storm Lake anchors this Buena Vista County landscape, where the city of the same name meets the water at Casino Beach. The urban footprint is clearly defined by a grid of numbered avenues and streets, containing key local institutions such as Buena Vista University and the Storm Lake Post Office. To the north, the small settlement of Truesdale remains a distinct community centered around the Truesdale Post Office and a network of rural roads like County Rd and Co Rd M44. Several burial sites, including Saint Marys Cemetery and Storm Lake Municipal Cemetery, provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The surrounding agricultural land is drained by several small watercourses, most notably the meandering Poor Farm Creek and Brooke Creek, illustrating the intersection of residential growth and the traditional Iowa prairie landscape.
