1940 Map of Blockton
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Iowa Missouri state line serves as a primary axis for this 1940 topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by small-scale agrarian settlement and an extensive network of rural schools. The village of Irena stands as a central point of interest, while the surrounding townships of Union, Fletchall, and Smith are dotted with numerous educational landmarks such as Honey Grove Sch, Victory Sch, and Lone Star Sch. These numerous schoolhouses imply a densely distributed rural population before the mid-century trend of school consolidation.
