2015 Map of Wallingford

About this map

The Des Moines River winds through the eastern portion of this Emmet County landscape, providing a natural north-south axis for the community of Wallingford. This modern survey reveals a highly organized agricultural grid, punctuated by vital water resources like Twelvemile Lake and Bur Oak Lake. The engineering of the land is evident in features such as Ditch Number 151, which helps manage the drainage of this prairie-pothole region for farming. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including Wallingford Cem, Saint Jacobs Cem, and the City Cem, all positioned near the river valley or established section lines. The small settlement of Raleigh sits in the northwest, connected to the larger region by an extensive network of county roads like Co Hwy A33 and Co Hwy B.
