1975 Map of Augusta SW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Clayton and Timewell anchor this orthophotograph produced from aerial imagery captured in May 1975. The landscape is a stark study in mid-century Midwestern land use, defined by a rigid grid of rectangular farm plots and winding wooded drainage systems. The town of Clayton appears as a dense cluster of residential blocks and gardens, while Timewell sits at the edge of the photographic survey area. This specific type of map, an orthophotoquad, replaces traditional topographic symbols with an actual visual record of the ground, showing the exact footprint of farmsteads, windbreaks, and woodlots as they existed in the mid-1970s. It offers an exceptionally clear look at the agricultural patterns of eastern Adams County, documenting the state of rural infrastructure and field boundaries just before the further consolidation of contemporary industrial farming.
