1965 Map of Arlington

About this map

Arlington sits at the northern edge of this survey, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts across the agricultural landscape of Fairfield and Smithfield townships. The mid-1960s rural character of the area is defined by a dense network of country roads connecting isolated farmsteads with local landmarks like Maryville and the Starmont Sch in Putnam township. The terrain is deeply inscribed by the winding paths of the Maquoketa River and the South Fork Maquoketa River, which draw prominent drainage patterns through the southern half of the quadrangle.
