1960 Map of Brewster
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The agricultural landscape of Nobles and Jackson Counties is anchored by Brewster, a prairie settlement defined by the diagonal transit of the Chicago and North Western railroad. This survey, based on 1958 photography and 1960 field checks, captures the area before modern interstate expansion significantly altered the local road patterns. The drainage of the till plain is managed by a network of engineered waterways, including Judicial Ditch No 76 and Judicial Ditch No 84, which supplement the natural courses of Okabena Creek and Elk Creek. Local history and genealogy interests are centered on sites such as Trinity Cem and Hersey Cem, while the presence of a Townhall and scattered Sandpits reflect the civic and extractive activities of the rural townships including Hersey and Alba.
