About this map

Schaller and Arthur serve as the primary hubs for this agricultural landscape along the western border of Sac County. The region is defined by a systematic township and range grid, where individual farmsteads are connected by a dense network of country roads. The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts across the northern landscape, establishing the rail-and-grain economy typical of the era.

Drainage is dominated by several named waterways, including Silver Creek, South Silver Creek, and Halfway Creek, which carve gentle patterns across the prairie. Local history is anchored by markers like the Cook Center Cem in Cook township, while the industrial character is noted by several Gravel Pit locations and a prominent Radio Tower in the north. The map clearly delineates the border between Sac and Ida Counties, providing a clear look at the jurisdictional boundaries and land use of the late 1970s.
