2010 Map of Washta

About this map

The Little Sioux River meanders through this agricultural landscape in Cherokee County, defining the valley where the towns of Washta and Quimby are situated. This 2010 survey illustrates a well-ordered township-and-range grid of roads such as Washta Rd and Alpine Ave, providing access to isolated homesteads and farmland. The local civic and social history is anchored by the Washta Post Office and several burial grounds, including Grandview Cemetery near Quimby and Sunset View Cemetery just outside Washta. A network of tributaries, including Willow Creek, Stratton Creek, and Bitter Creek, drains the surrounding fields into the primary river channel. Public land use is represented by the Washta Access along the riverbanks, while the presence of the Willow Rd and various numbered streets shows the modern connectivity of this rural Iowa community.
