About this map

Schleswig serves as the primary hub in this corner of Crawford County, its street grid organized around thoroughfares such as Cedar St and Valley View Dr. The surrounding landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with the Soldier River cutting through the northern sections and the E Soldier River winding its way south from the town center. The topography is marked by the varied creek valleys of Beaver Cr and Big Cr, illustrating the typical Loess Hills-adjacent terrain of western Iowa.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the dispersed rural burial sites that predate modern consolidation, including Grant Cem near the northern border and Otter Creek Cem to the east. Further south, Morgan Cem stands along the section lines, providing a record of the area's early family settlements. The transition from Ida County to Crawford County is clearly delineated by the township lines of T86N and T85N, showing the intersection of agricultural land and early civil organization.
