2015 Map of Wells

About this map

Wells serves as the primary focal point in this section of Ottawa County, located at the intersection of N 203rd Rd and Limestone Rd. The township-and-range grid system organizes the surrounding agricultural landscape, which is drained by a network of waterways including Middle Pipe Cr, Lindsey Cr, and Sand Cr. A significant site for local family history is Pleasant Hill Cem, situated along Quartz Rd. The map illustrates a rural environment defined by sectional roads like Treaty Rd and Mulberry Rd, reflecting a landscape dedicated to grain farming and prairie conservation. The drainage patterns of Pipe Cr and its tributaries influence the local topography, which remains largely defined by the original Public Land Survey System boundaries established in the late 19th century.
