About this map

The town of Thompson anchors the southern portion of this northern Iowa survey, situated along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line. This agricultural landscape in Winnebago County is defined by the intersection of several townships, including Lincoln, Eden, Buffalo, and King. The map captures a moment when local infrastructure included the Halverson Landing Strip and small community spaces like Florence Park.

Water drainage is a prominent feature of the terrain, with the Blue Earth River Middle Branch and Little Buffalo Creek winding across the border toward the Minnesota Iowa state line. For those tracing local landmarks, the Trinity Ch stands near the northern edge of the sheet in Eden township, while several Gravel Pit locations indicate localized extraction efforts alongside the area's primary farming economy.
