About this map

Shickley serves as the primary hub of this Fillmore County landscape, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern and the Chicago and North Western railroads. The town’s layout is documented alongside its local infrastructure, including a Sewage Disposal plant and the nearby Shickley Cem. To the north, the small siding of Martland sits along the rail line, while the surrounding prairie is dotted with অসংখ্য agricultural wells and family-serving landmarks such as St Marys Ch, Salem Ch, and Zion Cem.

Nature and water management are prominent throughout the quadrangle, notably at the Mallard Haven National Wildlife Management Area and Weis Lagoon. These wetlands and the drainage of Turkey Creek and Dry Sandy Creek highlight the intersection of natural hydrology and the intensive land use required for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The map also delineates the townships of Momence, Stanton, Bryant, and Hamilton.
