1978 Map of Carson NE

About this map

Indian Creek and Jordan Creek wind through this corner of Southwest Iowa, where the landscape is defined by the agricultural rhythms of Grove and Waveland townships. The map documents the boundary where Pottawattamie and Montgomery counties meet, revealing a rural infrastructure of scattered farmsteads and small country congregations. Local heritage is centered around sites like the Wheeler Grove Ch and Center Ridge Ch, alongside the Mormon Cem, which speaks to the historic migratory paths through the region. A specialized glimpse of late-twentieth-century rural life is visible in landmarks such as the Petersen Landing Strip and a Quarry located near Farm Creek. The drainage patterns of Graybill Creek and Crabapple Creek further illustrate the topographic character of this productive farming country.
