About this map

Harlan serves as the focal point of this Shelby County landscape, where the local street grid intersects with regional routes like 1000th St and Linden Rd. The town’s organized blocks include historic landmarks such as Harlan Cem and a detailed downtown core featuring Broadway St and Main St. To the south, the industrial and recreational character of the area is highlighted by Little George Lake.

The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the West Fork West Nishnabotna River and the West Nishnabotna River, which shape the valley north toward the settlement of Kirkman. This rural expanse is punctuated by family and community history at Rose Hill Cem and Rabbit Hallow Cem. The drainage patterns of Silver Cr to the west further illustrate the transition from the structured town life of the county seat to the productive agricultural lands of the Iowa interior.
