1981 Map of Blockton
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Platte River and Grand River systems define this rural landscape along the border of Iowa and Missouri. In the early 1980s, the region was characterized by small agricultural hubs like Blockton and Redding, connected by a network of country roads and the Chicago and North Western railroad line. The map highlights the evolution of regional infrastructure, noting an Old Railroad Grade and an Old RR Grade near the Ringgold County line, signaling the shifting patterns of transportation in the late 20th century. Local heritage is preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including Tent Chapel and the small settlement of Irena. Genealogists will find several burial sites such as Rosehill Cem, Fairview Cem, and Honey Grove Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the families who settled these border townships.
