2010 Map of Salix

About this map

Salix serves as the primary settlement on this western Iowa landscape, situated along the diagonal corridor of the modern highway system and the historic Old Hwy 75. This 2010 survey illustrates the organized agricultural grid typical of Woodbury County, punctuated by community landmarks like the Salix Post Office and Saint Josephs Cemetery. The geography is defined by its proximity to the meandering Missouri River to the west, which has left behind significant oxbow features such as Browns Lake and Browers Lake. These water bodies and the network of rural roads like Snyders Bend Rd and Port Neal Rd reveal how the river's historical shifts have shaped both the natural environment and local land use. Further inland, the Liberty Township Cemetery remains a quiet marker of the area's rural heritage amidst the expansive farmsteads.
