2018 Map of Wightman

About this map

Wightman sits at the intersection of Preston Ave and 380th St in this agricultural portrait of the Iowa prairie. The landscape is defined by the survey grid and the meandering path of Cedar Creek, which flows south across the border between Calhoun County and Greene County. This transition is marked by a network of drainage infrastructure, such as Drainage Ditch Number 121, illustrating the intensive modification of the land for cultivation. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Saint Patricks Cem and Old Cedar Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the rural community's heritage. To the northeast, Evergreen Cem and Happy Run frame the edges of the township, while Purgatory Cr cuts through the northwest corner, providing a natural break in the strictly ordered section lines of the territory.
