1968 Map of Blakesburg NE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts across the northern edge of this landscape, anchoring the rural communities of Pleasant Home and Village. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Soap Creek, Little Soap Creek, and Brush Creek, which carve through the townships of Adams, Center, and Greene. This 1960s survey captures a transition in the rural economy, where traditional gathering places like Mt Zion Ch and Hopewell Ch sit alongside modern infrastructure such as a prominent Radio Tower. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of several family and community burial sites, including Jay Cem and Hopewell Cem, located near the border of Wapello and Davis Counties.
