1968 Map of Anson

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Iowa Missouri state line bisects this landscape where the Fox River and Little Fox River wind through the borderlands of Clark County and Van Buren County. Small rural communities like Anson and Chambersburg serve as focal points for a region defined by scattered farmsteads and local institutions. Genealogists can identify several historic burial grounds and places of worship, including the Christy Cem, Troxel Cem, and Union Chapel. The presence of a Strip Mine and other mining activities near Rollins Creek suggests the local extraction industry of the mid-20th century. Large tracts of protected land, such as the Charlie Heath State Forest and Memorial Wildlife Area and Fox Valley State Forest, anchor the western and southern reaches of the map, preserving the woodland character of the river branches.
