About this map

The town of Breda serves as the focal point of this western Iowa landscape, where the rectilinear grid of country roads meets the diagonal path of the Sauk Rail Trl. This corridor, following an old railroad grade, provides a distinct historical marker across the agricultural terrain of Carroll and Sac Counties. To the south, the village of Mount Carmel is situated near the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cem, while the northern edge of the map reaches the outskirts of Auburn.

Drainage patterns define the rural topography, with the Middle Raccoon River cutting through the southwestern corner and the Wall Lake Inlet flowing past Breda. These small waterways, including Storm Cr and Elk Run, dictated the early placement of farmsteads and cemeteries such as Luckow Cem and Saint Bernards Cem. The map illustrates a mature agricultural region where established section lines and named avenues like Xavier Ave and Granite Ave organize the rolling prairie.
