About this map

Irwin sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape, where the local economy and social life center around the Irwin Post Office and the surrounding township roads. The town's layout follows a classic Midwestern grid, settled near the confluence of local drainages that feed into the West Nishnabotna River. To the south, Oak Hill Cemetery provides a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Shelby County.

The landscape is defined by the meandering courses of Elk Creek and Long Branch, which cut through the surveyed sections of the section-line road network. To the northeast, the small settlement of Botna marks another point of historical interest along the river. This survey highlights the enduring rural structure of the region, where named routes like Street F16 and Timber Rd connect isolated farmsteads to the central community of Irwin.
