About this map

The Missouri River floodplain defines the character of this 2015 Woodbury County landscape, where the town of Salix sits positioned between the river’s winding course and the agricultural expanses to the east. The terrain is marked by the hydrologic remnants of the valley, most notably Browns Lake and the engineered irrigation of the Farmers Canal. This survey captures the modern rural infrastructure of western Iowa, showing a grid of section roads like 260th St and Barker Ave that negotiate the low-lying bottomlands.

Local heritage is anchored by several burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Cem, Liberty Township Cem, and Walnut Grove Cem, which serve as primary points of interest for genealogical research in the area. The map also records the presence of the Lakeport Farms Airport, illustrating the integration of private aviation into the regional farming economy. In the southwest, the border with Nebraska follows the dynamic channel of the Missouri River, adjacent to Big Bear Cr.
