2015 Map of Grant City

About this map

The North Raccoon River snakes through this section of Sac County, Iowa, defining a landscape shaped by both natural waterways and a complex system of engineered drainage like Drainage Ditch 73 and Drainage Ditch 31. This grid-heavy rural environment is anchored by the small settlements of Grant City and Auburn in the southeast, while the hamlet of Ulmer sits centrally along Union Ave. The map reveals a high concentration of heritage sites, particularly for those tracing local family roots through numerous denominational burial grounds such as Saint Peters Lutheran Cem, Oak Lawn Cem, and Saint Marys Cem. Near the northern border, the Sac City Municipal Airport stands as a modern landmark amidst the traditional section-line roads and agricultural fields that have long characterized this portion of the Iowa plains.
