About this map

Shelby and Tennant anchor this agricultural landscape in western Iowa, where the headwaters of several prominent creeks carve through the terrain. The town of Shelby is situated at the southern edge of the sheet, defined by a grid including Station St and Spring St. Just north of the town, the Shelby Township Cem serves as a primary genealogical landmark for the region.

The rural character of the area is highlighted by the Old Stone Arch Bridge, located along Hackberry Rd north of Co Hwy F66. A network of drainage systems, including Silver Cr and Keg Cr, dictates the placement of the county roads and section lines. For local historians, the Olson Cem on the eastern edge provides further insight into the early settlement patterns of the township before the modern infrastructure of roads like Co Hwy L34 predominated.
