About this map

Holloway anchors the southeastern corner of this Swift County survey, showing the town's position along the rail corridor. The surrounding prairie landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pomme de Terre River, which cuts through the flat agricultural terrain of the Glacial Lake Agassiz region. The map reveals a dense network of township roads, including Co Rd 56 and Co Rd 38, which organize the rural sections.

Genealogists will find this particular sheet significant for its record of early community markers. Numerous burial sites are preserved here, such as Saint Johns Cem in the north and Immanuel Cem near the town center. Smaller, family-named or denominational sites like Trinity Cem, Evangelical Cem, and the Smith-Kepner Cem provide specific points of interest for tracing local heritage and early settlement patterns across the townships.
