About this map

The town of Solen sits on the northern bank of a winding oxbow in the Cannonball River, serving as a central hub for this portion of Sioux County. The street grid of the settlement is clearly defined by routes like W Broadway St and Railroad Ave, reflecting its orientation toward local transport and the river. To the west, the Red Cedar Cemetery provides a focal point for genealogical interest, while the nearby Solen Township Road Dam indicates the infrastructure managing the region's prairie hydrology.

Northward from the river, the landscape is characterized by the drainage of the Northwest Branch Cantapeta Creek. The map documents a sparse but regular network of rural section-line roads, including County Hwy 81 and 17th Ave, which connect isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots across the plains. This survey offers a precise look at the township's layout, where the interaction of the river valley and the surveyed grid remains the dominant geographical feature.
