About this map

Shelby anchors the southern portion of this southwestern Iowa landscape, where the town grid meets the borders of Pottawattamie and Shelby counties. The area is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and the meandering courses of Silver Cr and its tributaries. To the north, the small settlement of Tennant serves as a secondary focal point within the agricultural surroundings.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Shelby Township Cem and the smaller Olson Cem to the east. A notable point of architectural interest is the Old Stone Arch Bridge located north of Shelby along the water. The drainage patterns of the Middle Silver Cr and Keg Cr systems illustrate the natural irrigation that supported the region's farming development, while arterial routes like Co Hwy F66 connect these rural communities.
