1965 Map of Boone East

About this map

The city of Boone serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by significant rail infrastructure and agricultural research. The intersection of the Chicago and North Western and the Fort Dodge Des Moines and Southern lines highlights the area's importance as a transportation hub. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into the rolling drainage basins of Prairie Creek and North Onion Creek, where small landmarks like Prairie Center Ch and Lowell Sch anchor the rural community. To the south, the Iowa State University Agronomy Farm and Ledges State Park indicate a mix of academic influence and public conservation. Researchers will also find evidence of former transport routes along the Old Railroad Grade and local history at the Squire Boone Cem near the southern boundary.
