1970 Map of Beebeetown

About this map

Boyer River drainage patterns define this landscape on the border of Harrison and Pottawattamie Counties, where the alluvial plain meets the loess hills of western Iowa. The transportation corridor is anchored by the parallel tracks of the Chicago and North Western and Illinois Central railroads, which bypass the smaller upland settlements in favor of the river valley. While Beebeetown sits as a primary inland hub, the map reveals the remnants of smaller rail-side points like Euclid and Findley. Genealogists will find significant local history in the rural burial grounds, including Frazier Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Linwood Cem. The presence of the Logan-Missouri Valley Country Club and a Gaging Station along the river reflect the mid-century development of the region's recreational and agricultural infrastructure.
