1978 Map of Sheldon Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Wall Lake and the agricultural landscapes of north-central Iowa define this late 1970s survey. The map spans the border between Wright County and Hamilton County, highlighting the managed waterways and drainage systems essential to local prairie farming. This network includes the South Fork Iowa River, Sheldon Creek, and engineered channels like Ditch No 29 and Ditch No 7. Settlement patterns here reflect the steady organization of rural townships, with clear boundaries for Vernon, Blairsburg, and Williams. Local history is visible in the placement of the Vernon Ch and a rural Townhall, alongside several Gravel Pit operations that speak to the infrastructure needs of the surrounding counties. The Iowa River enters in the northeast, providing a natural contrast to the grid-like precision of the surrounding farmland and civil divisions.
