2018 Map of Washta

About this map

The Little Sioux River meanders southward through the northwest corner of Iowa, carving a valley that separates the settlements of Quimby and Washta. This 2018 survey illustrates the rural township structure at the junction of Cherokee, Woodbury, and Ida Counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Stratton Cr, Ashton Cr, and Bitter Cr, which drain the surrounding agricultural uplands. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites documented, such as Sunset View Cem just north of Washta, Grandview Cem near Quimby, and the isolated Fairview Cem to the south. The proximity of these towns to the river suggests a long history of water-dependent development, while the modern grid of county roads like Co Hwy C66 and Hwy D15 maintains the connectivity of this tri-county border region.
