1972 Map of Wesley
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
The agrarian landscape of North-Central Iowa is captured here along the border of Kossuth and Hancock counties. The town of Wesley serves as a primary hub, situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. The map reveals a highly engineered hydrologic system designed for large-scale farming, dominated by man-made channels like Drainage Ditch No 10 and Drainage Ditch No 97, which feed into the headwaters of the Boone River. This network of ditches illustrates the historical effort to drain the prairie wetlands for cultivation.
