2018 Map of Sheldon Creek

About this map

Williams serves as the primary community anchor in this rural landscape, situated at the southern edge of the quadrangle where Hamilton and Wright counties meet. The terrain is defined by its complex drainage network, where the S Fork Iowa River and the Iowa River itself meander through agricultural fields. Human engineering of the watershed is evident through significant features like Ditch Number 29, illustrating how the wetlands and prairie potholes of central Iowa were historically managed for farming. The local history of the region is further grounded at Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem, a significant landmark for genealogists located near Taylor Ave. Smaller waterways including Sheldon Cr and DeLongs Cr create a natural texture across the grid of section roads and avenues that characterize this productive prairie region.
