1964 Map of Sheldon SE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The agrarian landscape of northwest Iowa is captured here in the mid-1960s, defined by its rectilinear section lines and the intricate drainage of Willow Creek and its tributaries. The small settlement of Philby serves as a local focal point, situated near Baker Ch in the heart of Baker township. This survey emphasizes the intersection of natural watercourses like Stofferan Creek and Lamkin Creek with the human-imposed grid of section roads and property lines. The Illinois Central railroad cuts across the northeastern corner of the map, providing a vital link for the agricultural economy of O'Brien County and neighboring Sioux County. A lone Townhall stands as a civic marker in the countryside, reflecting the local governance and community structure of townships like Carroll, Lyon, and Floyd during this era.
