About this map

Bethany serves as the focal point of this Harrison County survey, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts through the southern landscape to connect the county seat with New Hampton. The terrain is defined by the intricate branching of Big Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Big Creek and the West Fork Big Creek. This network of waterways historically dictated the placement of dozens of one-room schoolhouses and rural meeting places, such as the Zimmerman Sch and Mt Olive No 2 Ch.
