2018 Map of Early

About this map

Early serves as the central hub of this Sac County landscape, positioned at the junction of Highway 71 and Highway 20. The town's layout is clearly defined by its grid of streets, including Main St, Walnut St, and Maple St, reflecting a well-established agricultural service center. The surrounding rural townships, such as t88n r37w, are marked by a dense network of gravel roads like Jackson Ave and Karr Ave, which partition the fertile Iowa prairie into the classic Public Land Survey System sections. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds scattered through the countryside, including Sacred Heart Cem and Early Union Cem just outside the town limits. Natural drainage for these farmsteads is provided by the meandering Boyer River and Elk Cr, which break the straight-line geometry of the section roads.
