USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad cuts a diagonal line across this Wells County landscape, serving as the primary lifeline for the town of Cathay. This 1949 survey, compiled from early 1940s aerial photography and 1948 plane-table fieldwork, documents the rural infrastructure of the Missouri River Basin during the mid-century. The settlement of Cathay is the central hub, supported by local industry like the nearby Gravel Pit and proximity to Rocky Run.
