2013 Map of Wallingford

About this map

The Des Moines River winds through the heart of this Emmet County landscape, defining the agricultural character of the region. The small community of Wallingford serves as a central hub, situated along the primary north-south roadway and the river's eastern bank. To the north, the Emmet County Home and River View Golf Course sit near the settlement of Highlake, while the western portion of the map is dominated by the expansive Twelvemile Lake and the hamlet of Raleigh. The terrain is significantly managed for drainage, as evidenced by the engineered path of Ditch Number 151 crossing the prairie. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of how modern rural infrastructure, including a dense grid of numbered roads like Saint James Ave and Burr Oak Rd, integrates with the natural water bodies and conservation areas like Peterson Access.
