About this map

Sibley serves as the prominent hub in the southeast corner of this survey, anchored by historical burial grounds including Holman Cem and Saint Andrews Catholic Cem. The landscape is part of the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that shapes the drainage of the region. This geography is clearly visible through the winding paths of the Little Rock River and the complex network of creeks like Otter Cr and Whitney Cr.

Further west, the town of Little Rock sits near the border of Lyon and Osceola Counties, marking a quiet agricultural corridor defined by a rigid section-line road grid. The presence of Hope Church Cem and the low-lying Argo Slough suggest a history of early prairie settlement where water management and community gathering points were central to the rural economy. This modern survey provides a clear look at how the township and range system continues to organize the farmland and drainage basins of northwest Iowa.
