2015 Map of Yetter

About this map

Yetter stands at the center of this agricultural landscape in northwestern Iowa, where the border of Sac and Calhoun counties meets a strictly organized grid of rural roads. The area's hydrology is characterized by the winding path of the North Raccoon River and its tributaries, including Camp Creek and Prairie Creek. The map documents the extensive water management systems essential to local farming, including Drainage Ditch 31 and Drainage Ditch 198. In the southeast, the residential outskirts of Lake City appear alongside important community landmarks such as Lake City Cem and Saint Mary's Cem. This 2015 survey provides a contemporary record of a region defined by its deep-rooted connection to the land and the precise engineering required to manage the prairie's drainage.
