2018 Map of Wallingford

About this map

The Des Moines River winds through the eastern portion of this northern Iowa landscape, defining the character of the river valley near Wallingford. To the west, the terrain transitions into a glaciated prairie upland marked by natural depressions and modern agricultural engineering, seen in the channelized Ditch Number 151 and the large expanse of Twelvemile Lake. The settlement at Raleigh sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, while Wallingford serves as a central hub near the river. This survey captures the rural layout of the region, emphasizing the importance of local heritage through the documentation of Wallingford Cem, Saint Jacobs Cem, and City Cem. The southern boundary follows the Emmet Co Palo Alto Co line, illustrating the intersection of county jurisdictions in this heavily farmed river basin.
