2013 Map of Swea City

About this map

Swea City sits in the southern portion of this northern Iowa quadrangle, defined by its rigid grid of numbered roads and agricultural waterways. The landscape reveals a highly managed prairie drainage system, with Ditch Number 60 and Mud Cr cutting through the farmland to join the W Br Blue Earth River. In the northern section, industrial agriculture is represented by the Rock N Sons Feedlot, a notable landmark in the rural expanse of Kossuth County. The town site itself shows a compact residential and commercial core with streets like Birch Ave W and Park Ave W, demonstrating the typical development of a rural crossroads community in the early 21st century. This survey documents the intersection of natural drainage and human engineering required to maintain the region's productive agricultural economy.
