The Audubon landscape in the mid-1950s was a study in classic Midwestern agricultural and rail-oriented settlement patterns. The Chicago and North Western and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads provided the primary arteries for commerce, linking the communities of Exira, Brayton, and Hamlin through the river valleys. A network of rural schools, many already noted as abandoned by 1957—such as School No 5 and School No 7—reveals the ongoing consolidation of the district system that once placed a one-room schoolhouse in every township section.
