About this map

Shelton sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape, straddling the county line between Buffalo Co and Hall Co. The town's grid is oriented alongside Railroad St, reflecting the historical importance of the rail corridor that parallels Us-30. This transportation artery cuts a diagonal path through the township, crossing the meandering path of the Wood River.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of parallel waterways, including Prairie Cr to the north and Silver Cr to the northeast. A dense network of section-line roads, such as Wiseman Rd and 190th Rd S, organizes the rural landscape into productive parcels. Notable historic routes like W Old Military Rd offer a glimpse into the region's earlier transit patterns, contrasting with the modern efficiency of US Highway 30 W.
