1965 Map of Beech

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Beech sits along the northern edge of this Marion County survey, serving as a focal point along the Chicago Rock Island And Pacific railroad. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Coal Creek and Coon Creek, which carve through the townships of Union, Pleasant Grove, Belmont, and Franklin. The map captures the agricultural and religious infrastructure of the mid-1960s, documenting local landmarks like Motor Ch and Highland Cem near the small settlement of Motor. To the south, the village of Caloma stands near a modern Pipeline corridor. A significant geographic feature is the Lake Red Rock inundation area along White Breast Creek in the southeast corner, indicating the shifting hydrologic landscape as the Des Moines River valley was managed for flood control.
