2018 Map of Irwin

About this map

The town of Irwin serves as a central hub in this section of Shelby County, situated along the banks of the West Nishnabotna River. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the river and its tributaries, including Elk Cr and Long Br, which carve through the agricultural uplands. Evidence of late-twentieth-century rural organization is seen in the grid of numbered township roads, such as 2200th St and 340th St, which connect dispersed farmsteads to the primary corridors of Street F16 and Street F24. Further north, the small settlement of Botna sits near the Crawford County line. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Oak Hill Cemetery, while the town of Irwin itself shows a established street plan featuring Front St, Ann St, and Cora St.
