1943 Map of Blockton
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The borderlands between Iowa and Missouri come to life in this 1940 topographic survey, showing a landscape defined by the branching waters of the Grand River. In this era before widespread rural consolidation, the map reveals a dense network of one-room schoolhouses such as Pleasant Valley Sch, Honey Grove Sch, and Victory Sch, which served the farming families of the Fletchall and Smith townships. The tiny settlement of Irena sits near the center of the sheet, connected to the wider world by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line.
