2013 Map of Grant City

About this map

The N Raccoon River carves a winding path through this corner of Sac County, defining a landscape shaped by both natural waterways and a precision network of agricultural engineering. Small rural settlements like Ulmer, Pettis, and Fletcher anchor the surveyed grid of section roads, illustrating the persistent 19th-century township structure into the modern era. The presence of Drainage Ditch 73 and Drainage Ditch 25 underscores the intensive land management required to maintain the region's productive farmlands. Near the river's bends, the Whitehorse Access Public Hunting Area and Whitehorse Access provide pockets of conservation amidst the surrounding fields. To the north, the Sac City Municipal Airport marks a point of modern infrastructure, while the southeastern corner touches the edge of Auburn. This survey captures a rural Iowa landscape where quiet crossroads like Hart and the small cluster at Grant City remain as evidence of the area's early community centers.
