About this map

Ventura Heights and the adjacent town of Ventura occupy the northwest corner of this landscape, situated along the northern shores of Clear Lake. This area of Cerro Gordo County is defined by its recreational and residential proximity to the water, featuring several named access points such as Farmers Beach and Dodges Beach. The lake's shoreline is punctuated by prominent landmarks including Lone Tree Point, Dodges Point, and Grand View Point, while Woodford Island sits just offshore.

Moving south away from the lakefront, the terrain transitions into a highly organized grid of agricultural land and drainage systems. This rural interior is crisscrossed by gravel roads like Cardinal Ave and Dogwood Ave, and drained by several small waterways including Galls Cr and Beaverdam Cr. Significant natural features such as Itekwa Marsh near South Bay and the clearing at Lloyd's Field highlight the balance between the region's wetland ecology and its long-established farming heritage.
