1978 Map of Clarion SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Big Wall Lake State Public Hunting Area dominates the northeast corner of this central Iowa landscape, where the prairie begins its transition toward the South Fork Iowa River drainage. In the late 1970s, this area of Wright and Hamilton Counties was defined by an extensive network of drainage improvements, including Ditch No 149 and Ditch No 144, which transformed the glacial wetlands into productive agricultural territory. The map captures local landmarks of rural civic life, such as the Townhall and the United Ch, while tracing the meandering paths of White Fox Creek and Lyons Creek. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate local resource extraction amidst the section-line roads and farmstead distributions characteristic of the region's mid-century rural development.
