1968 Map of Beresford
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Beresford serves as the primary hub on this late-1960s survey, situated where the Chicago and North Western rail line cuts across the prairie landscape. The area is defined by its rural community structure, organized into townships like Brooklyn, Pleasant, Glenwood, and Prairie. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, locating several country schools including Brooklyn Sch and Danefield Sch, alongside numerous local burial grounds such as St Peters Cem and the Adventist Cem. The transition of the era is evident in the modern infrastructure of the Irene-Beresford Interchange and the Alcester-Wakonda Interchange, which contrast with older landmarks like Brooklyn Ch and the Bethesda Home. The drainage of the Missouri River Basin is traced through Ash Creek and Baptist Creek, illustrating the agricultural layout of the Clay, Lincoln, and Union County borders.
