2018 Map of Sloan

About this map

The town of Sloan anchors the northern portion of this survey, where the grid of Old Hwy 75 and modern interstate transit meets the agricultural plains of the Missouri River valley. The landscape is defined by an extensive drainage network, including Boyer Ditch, Swanson Ditch, and the lengthy McCandless Cleghorn Ditch, reflecting the engineering required to manage the fertile bottomlands between Sloan and Whiting. For those tracing local history or family lineage, the map identifies several rural burying grounds situated away from the primary settlements, such as Hite Cem and Clark Cem near the river bends, alongside the larger Sloan Cem and Whiting Cem. The transition across the Woodbury Co Monona Co line reveals a remarkably consistent section-line road system that has dictated the region's development for over a century.
