About this map

Ventura and Ventura Heights sit along the western and southern shores of Clear Lake, a prominent glacial water body in northern Iowa. This landscape is defined by the transition from the lakeside recreational and residential development to the surrounding agricultural plains. The northern portion of the map highlights the intricate shoreline, featuring points of interest like Lone Tree Point, Dodges Point, and Grand View Point. Just offshore, Woodford Island stands as a distinct landmark within the lake.

Away from the water, the terrain is characterized by a grid of rural roads and drainage features such as Beaverdam Cr and Galls Cr. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Clear Lake Township Cem near the northern border. Significant natural areas are preserved at the lake's edge, including the Lekwa Marsh on the eastern side of South Bay, illustrating the area's ecological diversity alongside its established lakeside communities.
