2018 Map of Sheldon

About this map

Sheldon serves as the primary hub in this corner of northwest Iowa, straddling the border between Sioux and O'Brien Counties. The landscape is defined by the organized grid of section lines and rural routes like 320th St and 360th St, typical of the region's agricultural layout. Waterways including the Floyd River and its tributary, the Little Floyd River, meander through the farmland, punctuated by smaller creeks such as Wolf Cr and Engels Cr. This survey details the town's growth toward the Sheldon Regional Airport and provides essential locations for genealogists, including East Lawn Cem, Saint Patricks Cem, and Saint Paul Cem. North of the main settlement, the small community of Ritter remains a distinct point on the map, connected by the highway corridor.
