2018 Map of West Bend
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
West Bend and Ottosen anchor this North Central Iowa landscape, which spans the intersection of Palo Alto, Kossuth, Pocahontas, and Humboldt counties. The region is defined by a heavy investment in agricultural drainage, evidenced by engineered waterways like Ditch Number 79 and Ditch Number 17 that supplement the natural winding paths of the Des Moines River, Lotts Cr, and Prairie Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the West Bend Cem and Garfield Township Cem, alongside the Apostolic Christian Cem. The grid of rural roads and township boundaries reveals the enduring structure of the Iowa prairie's development into a systematic farming hub.
