About this map

The Little Sioux River meanders through this portion of Woodbury County, carving a wide valley flanked by distinctive terrain features like Smoky Hollow and Cottonwood Hollow. In 2010, the rural landscape remains anchored by the small communities of Smithland, Rodney, and Ticonic. The map provides significant detail for local historians, identifying specific landmarks such as the Smithland Post Office and Rodney Post Office, alongside aviation facilities like Maynard Airport.

Genealogists will find the locations of Smithland Cemetery, Hollister Cemetery, and Grant Cemetery invaluable for tracing family roots in the area. The geography is further defined by numerous tributary streams, including Barber Creek, McMaster Creek, and Gard Creek, which intersect the grid of county roads such as Co HWY l12 and Orange Ave. The transition from the river bottom to upland areas like Poverty Hollow and Dutch Hollow illustrates the varied topography of this western Iowa region.
