2022 Map of Smithland

Genealogists can find significant local history in the rural burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, such as the Little Sioux Township Cem, Wellington Cem, and Grant Cem. The map highlights the transition between the managed landscape of the S-Wood Conservation Area and the sectioned farmland defined by roads like Old Hwy 141 and Co Hwy E14. Small tributaries like Parnell Creek and McMaster Cr feed the larger river system, illustrating the drainage network of this western Iowa region.
