Cherokee County High Point Trip Report

Date: July 14, 2002

This highpoint is a "liner." From the intersection of US 59 and Iowa 3 north of Cherokee, drive north on Route 3 for 6.6 miles to Larrabee and the intersection with County C16. Turn right on C16 and continue east for another 8 miles to the county line (10th Avenue). Turn right and immediately park on the side of the road. From here, you can see windmills to the northeast, beans are planted in the fields to the west (Cherokee County), and corn is in the fields to the east (Buena Vista County). The highpoint appears to be in the middle of the road. Higher ground intrudes from the east side of the road and slopes gently to the west into the beanfield.

While you are in this area, consider visiting the 4 highpoints of Buena Vista County, which are just a few miles east of this site.
