So is route traveling from New Hampton To Lawler on Hwy 24?
Cresco, my fair city and home to: the Crestwood Cadets, the Iowa Wrestling Hall of Fame, The Mighty Howard County Fair, Featherlite Trailers, and childhood home of Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Norman Borlaug.
Hi Christy,
I’m not an authority, but it looks like the routes with black borders are state highways as opposed to farm roads. I use Google Maps to get a better feel for the routes. But I have found inaccuracies, though, on Google.
