2013 Map of Center Point SW

About this map

Shellsburg occupies the northeastern corner of this 2013 landscape, where the street grid of Main St NW and Grove St NW meets the winding course of Bear Cr. The surrounding Benton County terrain is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and a series of westward-flowing tributaries. The tiny settlement of Eden sits near the headwaters of Opossum Cr, illustrating the persistent agricultural character of this region. The drainage patterns across the central and southern portions of the map are particularly detailed, following the paths of Wildcat Cr, Goose Run, and Little Bear Cr as they cut through the rural landscape. This modern survey reflects the enduring grid system established in the nineteenth century, now serving as the primary infrastructure for the contemporary farmsteads and rural homes situated along routes like 63rd St and 30th Ave.
