1968 Map of Bonaparte
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Des Moines River carves a deep valley through Van Buren County, anchoring the historic riverfront communities of Bonaparte, Bentonsport, and Vernon. This 1968 field survey documents a landscape of steep, wooded ravines and creek drainages, including Honey Creek and Bear Creek, which separate the agricultural uplands. A striking feature of the local infrastructure is the Old Railroad Grade winding through the hills south of the river, marking the path of former transportation routes that once linked these valley towns to wider markets.
