2018 Map of Odebolt East

About this map

The settlement of Odebolt anchors the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Sac County, where the town street grid transitions into a vast network of section roads. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with rural burial sites, including Richland Cem, Salem Reform Cem, Clinton Center Cem, and Tom Marks Cem scattered across the townships. These locations, often situated near the heads of small drainage systems like Wheeler Cr, reflect the early settlement patterns of the region's farming families. The natural drainage of the land is defined by the Boyer River in the east and Odebolt Cr in the west, carving subtle relief into the prairie. The rigid alignment of roads such as Fox Ave and 330th St illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the modern Iowa landscape.
