2015 Map of Terril

About this map

Terril serves as the primary residential and commercial hub in this section of northwest Iowa, situated at the junction of Co Rd N14 and Co Rd A48. The landscape is defined by the intersections of four counties—Dickinson, Emmet, Clay, and Palo Alto—meeting in a grid of section lines and agricultural drainage. Notable water bodies such as Cheever Lake and Twelvemile Lake anchor the northeastern and southeastern corners, while Big Muddy Cr and Pickerel Run provide natural drainage alongside man-made improvements like Ditch Number 61. Just south of the main settlement, Fairview Cem stands as a local landmark for genealogical research. The region's transport network is a rigorous grid of numbered streets and avenues, including Linden Dr and 190th St, which facilitate movement across the predominantly rural, cultivated terrain.
