2013 Map of Smithland

About this map

The Little Sioux River carves a winding path through this corner of Woodbury County, defining the valley that connects the small communities of Smithland, Rodney, and Ticonic. The topography is characterized by distinct geographical depressions such as Smoky Hollow and Poverty Hollow, while Woodward Glen provides a notable landmark in the western portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a largely agricultural landscape organized by a rigid grid of rural roads, including Jewell Ave and Peach Ave. Conservation and natural resource management are evident at the S Wood Conservation Area, which sits north of Rodney. Numerous tributaries, including Barber Cr, McMaster Cr, and Gard Cr, feed into the river system, illustrating the intricate drainage network of this Iowa river valley.
