2010 Map of Schleswig

About this map

Schleswig serves as the central hub of this Crawford County landscape, where the town's residential grid is anchored by the Schleswig Post Office. The surrounding terrain is defined by a strictly organized township-and-range road system, with alphabetical and numerical routes like A Ave and 210th St carving the farmland into precise squares. Waterways break this geometric regularity, as the Soldier River and East Soldier River wind through the northern and southern portions of the map. Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the scattered rural burial grounds, including Grant Cemetery to the north, Otter Creek Cemetery near the center, and Morgan Cemetery located further south near the small community of Morgan. The drainage patterns of Beaver Creek and Big Creek further illustrate the natural topography that dictated the placement of these early landmarks and homesteads.
