About this map

Unique is situated at the intersection of 230th St and Florida Ave, serving as the central point of this Humboldt County landscape. The area is defined by a strictly surveyed grid of agricultural roads and the winding path of the Des Moines River in the northeast corner. This river crossing is anchored by the Berkhimer Bridge and the Des Moines River Bridge, which provide access to the waterside area near Lake Nokomis.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the locations of Weaver Township Cemetery to the west and Our Saviors Cemetery to the southeast, both critical landmarks for tracing family history in this rural Iowa township. The drainage pattern is dictated by several tributaries, including Indian Creek, Bass Creek, and Deer Creek, which cut across the organized sections and influence the placement of early farmsteads and crossing points.
