About this map

Whittemore serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, situated at the intersection of State Hwy 44 and Broad St. The town's heritage is anchored by several religious sites, including Saint Michaels Cem to the north and Saint Pauls Cem to the south, alongside the Whittemore Cem. These landmarks provide significant touchpoints for genealogists tracing families in the western reaches of the county.

The surrounding terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Lotts Cr and engineered waterways like Ditch Number 61 and Ditch Number 79. These features reveal the transformation of the prairie into a highly productive agricultural grid. The map also delineates the western boundary between Palo Alto Co and Kossuth Co, illustrating how early administrative lines persist through the modern road network.
