About this map

Sloan stands as the primary settlement on this Woodbury County landscape, structured by a grid of streets including Elm St, Cedar St, and Alderson St. The surrounding terrain is defined by an extensive drainage network essential for the region's agricultural productivity, featuring the Boyer Ditch, Swanson Ditch, and the long McCandless Cleghorn Ditch. These waterways reflect the engineering required to manage the flat prairie lands of western Iowa.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds across the township lines, such as Sloan Cem to the northwest and Hite Cem further south. The map documents the boundary between Woodbury Co and Monona Co, where 100th St and 340th St meet. Transport through the area is anchored by Old Hwy 75 and Co Hwy K45, tracing the established routes that have connected these rural communities for generations.
