1963 Map of Avoca NW

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Pottawattamie County’s agricultural heartland is documented here through a complex network of townships including Minden, Pleasant, James, York, and Knox. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Middle Silver Creek and Silver Creek, which carve through the loess hills toward the Nishnabotna Valley. This rural infrastructure is anchored by local landmarks such as Silver Creek Ch and the Silver Valley Cem, providing essential touchstones for genealogical research in this part of western Iowa. The southern edge of the map features the established corridor of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, illustrating the vital transportation link that historically connected these farming townships to broader regional markets during the mid-twentieth century.
