About this map

Canton stands as the primary settlement on this Lincoln County landscape, situated where the grid of city streets meets the winding path of Beaver Cr. The map details the residential and civic structure of the town, from the centrally located Po to the Canton Municipal Airport on the eastern outskirts. To the south, the smaller community of Beloit is connected by Beloit Cemetery Rd, leading past its namesake Beloit Cem.

Evidence of the area's ancient and modern history is found in landmarks like the Canton Mounds and the Canton Cem located north of town. The Big Sioux River corridor defines the eastern boundary, featuring the Big Sioux Wildlife Public Hunting Area. This survey documents a well-established agricultural and riverine landscape, where waterways like Little Beaver Cr and Nelson Cr intersect with a strictly organized section-line road system including Co Hwy-A50.
