2018 Map of Wesley

About this map

The town of Wesley serves as the focal point of this northern Iowa landscape, situated along the border of Kossuth and Hancock counties. The terrain is defined by its agricultural grid and a complex hydrological system, where the Boone River meanders through the eastern sections near Stilson. Significant local landmarks include Saint Joseph Cem south of Wesley and the Boone Township Cem further southeast, providing valuable points of interest for genealogical research. The map illustrates the evolution of regional transport, showing the path of Old Hwy 18 and a network of county roads like Co Rd R16 and Co Hwy B46 that link smaller communities such as Hutchins. The integration of natural waterways like Prairie Cr with man-made improvements, specifically Drainage Ditch Number 10, highlights the 21st-century management of this productive prairie land.
