1979 Map of Ackley
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Ackley sits at a geographic crossroads in north-central Iowa, where the borders of Franklin, Hardin, Butler, and Grundy counties meet. This late 1970s landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and a significant intersection of rail lines, including the Illinois Central Gulf and the Chicago and North Western. To the north, the small settlement of Faulkner remains tied to the rail corridor and the nearby Beaver Creek. Local heritage is preserved in several rural landmarks such as Blakes Grove (Chapel) and the Pleasant Hill Cem. The town of Ackley itself is well-developed with the Ackley Municipal Airport and a prominent Golf Course on its southern edge. This survey captures the region just before significant changes in the midwestern rail network, detailing the numerous Gravel Pits and quarries that supported local infrastructure.
