2013 Map of Thor

About this map

Thor remains the primary settlement on this agricultural landscape, centered at the intersection of Utah Ave and 250th St. The town is organized around a small grid of streets including Lela St, Fry St, and Dean St. This 2013 data illustrates a modern rural layout where the natural hydrology of Beaver Cr and Badger Cr is supplemented by an extensive man-made drainage system. These engineered waterways, such as Drainage Ditch Number 46 and Ditch Number 19, are essential components of the regional prairie-transformation for large-scale farming. The grid of section roads, spanning from Roosevelt Ave to Washington Ave, underscores the precision of the land survey system in Humboldt County, defining the spatial organization of the modern Iowa farmstead.
