About this map

Shelby anchors the southern portion of this West Central Iowa landscape, situated along a grid of section roads that define the local agricultural character. The town layout is clearly delineated, featuring the Shelby Post Office and the nearby Shelby Township Cemetery. To the north, the smaller settlement of Tennant serves as a secondary hub with its own Tennant Post Office, surrounded by a network of drainage ways including Keg Creek and Silver Creek.

A notable historical landmark, the Old Stone Arch Bridge, stands southeast of Tennant, representing the enduring infrastructure of the region's rural road system. The landscape is predominantly shaped by its waterways, such as the East Branch Keg Creek and Middle Silver Creek, which meander through the rectilinear farmland. To the far east, the Olson Cemetery marks another point of genealogical interest, reflecting the scattered pattern of early local burial grounds and family plots within the township.
