1961 Map of Amazonia
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Amazonia and the settlement of Nodaway occupy the high ground and riverbanks overlooking the confluence of the Nodaway River and the Missouri River in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the flat expanse of Burr Oak Bottom to the south and the dissected loess hills to the north. This survey documents a critical period of transition for regional transportation, showing the legacy lines of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad alongside newer infrastructure like Davis Roadside Park. Genealogists will find a cluster of family and community burial grounds throughout the rolling hills, including Old Union Cem, Hackberry Cem, and the Bennett Lace Cem. The presence of numerous quarries near the river indicates the active industrial use of the bluffs during this era.
