1981 Map of Benton
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Benton and Delphos anchor this Ringgold County landscape, which by the early 1980s was characterized by a transition from heavy rail infrastructure to conservation. The Chicago and North Western rail line cuts north-south through the western portion of the map, while an Old Railroad Grade further east indicates where earlier tracks were already being reclaimed by the land. This shift toward natural preservation is most evident in the Mount Ayr State Wildlife Area, which surrounds Walnut Creek Lake and includes a local Campground.
