2022 Map of Sutherland West

About this map

Coteau des Prairies defines the rolling topography of this Northwest Iowa landscape, where the agricultural grid is intersected by the winding paths of Nelson Cr and Dry Run. The survey captures the town of Sutherland at the northeastern edge and the smaller settlement of Calumet to the south, both established along a network of section-line roads and early transportation corridors. Genealogists and local historians can find the Liberty Cem situated along 500th St, a point of interest for tracing family roots in the township. The boundary between O'Brien County and Cherokee County bisects the southern portion of the map, illustrating how administrative lines overlay the natural drainage patterns of Gray Cr and Dog Cr.
