About this map

The Kossuth and Hancock County border defines this northern Iowa landscape, where the town of Wesley serves as a primary settlement along US Highway 18. The map documents a classic Midwestern agricultural grid, punctuated by small communities and rural intersections. To the east, the Boone River meanders toward the south, while Drainage Ditch Number 10 and Prairie Creek indicate the region's managed water systems.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Saint Joseph Cemetery south of Wesley and the Boone Township Cemetery near the community of Stilson. Traces of earlier transportation routes appear in the labeling of Old Highway 18, which parallels the modern highway through Hutchins. The map illustrates the transition from traditional section-line roads like Ames Avenue to the established small-town street plans of the region's early 21st-century settlements.
