About this map

Sac City sits at the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape, where the town street grid meets the sprawling township and range system of Sac County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Raccoon River and several significant wetlands, most notably the Kiowa Marsh in the northwest. This area illustrates the intensive water management required for Iowa's prairie agriculture, evidenced by the presence of Drainage Ditch 71 cutting through the central sections.

A network of county highways and gravel roads, including Co Hwy M50 and Quincy Ave, connect the dispersed farmsteads of T88N and T89N. Smaller watercourses like Indian Cr carve through the glacial till, creating subtle relief in an otherwise level patchwork of fields. For researchers, the map provides a precise layout of the rural infrastructure near the western outskirts of the county seat as it appeared in the late 2010s.
