1972 Map of Cloverdale

About this map

Cloverdale serves as a central rail point in this Iowa landscape, situated along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line. The surrounding territory is defined by the agricultural layout of several townships, including East Holman, West Holman, Gilman, and Goewey. Waterways like Otter Creek in the north and the North Fork Floyd River in the south carve through the sectioned fields, dictating the natural drainage patterns of the prairie. Small industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and Sandpit indicate local resource extraction during the early 1970s. The map also records the jurisdictional boundary of Osceola Co O'Brien Co, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land management at this moment in the state's history.
