About this map

The Little Sioux River winds through the northwest corner of this rural Woodbury County landscape, a region defined by its complex network of seasonal and perennial drainage. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is partitioned into the townships of Miller, Morgan, Oto, and Liston. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, where section lines dictate the road network across a series of creek valleys. Genealogists will find the location of St Marys Cem significant for local family research. A dense hydrological system including Miller Creek, Keller Creek, and Dutch Creek illustrates the agricultural drainage patterns essential to this part of Iowa. The interplay between the prominent river valley and smaller tributaries like Big Creek and Hawk Creek showcases a land thoroughly shaped by water and systematic section-line settlement.
