About this map

The North Raccoon River carves a winding path through this corner of Sac County, defining the agricultural landscape between Ulmer and Grant City. The terrain is heavily modified for farming, evidenced by an extensive network of managed waterways including Drainage Ditch 73, Drainage Ditch 25, and Drainage Ditch 31. These features, alongside Indian Creek, reflect the long-standing effort to harness the Iowa prairie for cultivation.

Local history and genealogy are centered around the area's established cemeteries and small settlements. The southern edge of the map features the outskirts of Auburn, while several rural burial grounds serve as anchors for family research, such as Saint Marys Cem, Oak Lawn Cem, and the Saint Peters Lutheran Cem further north. The grid of country roads, from Rolland Ave to Yankee Ave, connects these historic sites across the townships of T87N and T86N.
