1960 Map of Burlington

North of the urban center, the terrain transitions into the wide Sugar Prairie and the marshy expanses around Honey Lake. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as the German Settlement in the northwest and various family and parish burial grounds including Hudson Cemetery and St Joseph Cemetery. The presence of the Burlington Airfield and the Wao-Aero Landing Strip highlights the era's regional aviation, while numerous gravel pits reflect the local geology and extraction industry.
