1968 Map of Belle Plaine SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Holiday Lake sits at the center of this rural landscape, its branching shoreline providing a distinct contrast to the surrounding agricultural grid of Poweshiek and Tama counties. Just south of the lake, Kent Chapel stands as a focal point for the local community, while the terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of North Walnut Creek and Walnut Creek to the north. The area is marked by a complex system of farm-and-field lines, noted in the 1968 field check as fine red dashed lines visible from aerial photography. Towards the southern edge, the land slopes toward Big Bear Creek and the township boundaries of Bear Creek and Warren, illustrating the quiet, rural character of central Iowa before significant modern development altered these traditional township lines.
