Local History:
  • I found Dennis Week's Pottawattamie County township map at http://iagenweb.org/pottawattamie/map/map-townships.htm.

To view the Shelby County map, access davidrumsey.com, click on the very small search option in the upper-right corner, and enter andreas iowa 1875 shelby. You should see an 1875 map of Shelby County, although the caption might say Monona County!
