2015 Map of Beloit SW

About this map

Salt Cr and its tributaries define the agricultural layout of Mitchell County in this 2015 study. The landscape is structured by a precise grid of rural roads, including O Rd and 230 Rd, which separate the vast sectioned fields of the Public Land Survey System. This modern topographic record captures the enduring rural character of the region, where historical landmarks such as Elmira Cem and Pleasant View Cem remain as focal points for local history. The drainage patterns of Leban Cr and Little Cr illustrate the natural topography that underlies the township and range divisions, showing how early settlement patterns have persisted into the current era through the maintained section lines and waterway boundaries.
