About this map

Auburn and Lidderdale anchor the northwest and southeast corners of this agricultural landscape, where the borders of Sac, Calhoun, and Carroll Counties meet. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Raccoon River in the northeast, which is spanned by the Lake City Bridge near its confluence with Lake Creek. This area shows a highly organized grid of county roads and avenues that segment the productive Iowa prairie, interrupted only by the natural drainage of Elk Run and Buck Run.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial sites, including Cottonwood Cem in the north and Immanuel Cem further south. The presence of Ditch Number 72 and 81 highlights the intensive land management required for the region's farming economy. From the banks of Storm Cr to the various named township roads, the map provides a precise record of the physical and civic infrastructure of this rural corridor in the late 2010s.
