About this map

Odebolt serves as the primary hub for this stretch of Sac County, anchoring an agricultural landscape defined by a precise grid of section-line roads. The town's western edge is marked by the Odebolt Cemetery, while the surrounding prairie is dotted with smaller burying grounds that hint at early rural congregations and neighborhoods, including Richland Cemetery, Salem Reform Cemetery, and Clinton Center Cemetery.

Natural drainage patterns break the geometric symmetry of the road network, with the Boyer River winding through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Significant local waterways like Odebolt Creek and Wheeler Creek cut across the farmsteads, providing essential water sources for the region's long-standing tradition of corn and livestock production. This map offers a clear view of the intersection between nineteenth-century land surveys and the natural hydrology of the Iowa plains.
