About this map

Shannon City serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southwestern Iowa, situated at the junction of Ringgold and Union counties. The terrain is defined by the branching waterways of the East Platte River and the Grand River, which dictate the local road network of gravel ways and paved routes like Cherry Street Rd and Pole Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Ide Family Cemetery, Harmony Cemetery, Mortimor Cemetery, and Oakland Cemetery, each marking early family settlements and rural congregations. The community focus remains near the Shannon City Post Office, while the surrounding countryside is drained by smaller tributaries such as Plum Creek and Indian Creek, illustrating the classic township and range grid system typical of the region's late-twentieth-century development.
