1965 Map of Colfax
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The South Skunk River meanders through this Jasper County landscape, defining the valley floor where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks run parallel to Rock Creek. The city of Colfax serves as the primary hub, showing a detailed street grid and significant local landmarks like Schlosser Park and the Salvatorian Novitiate. This mid-1960s survey captures the area just as modern infrastructure was expanding, evidenced by the developing 4 Lane highway corridor cutting across the northern sections of Mound Prairie and Sherman townships.
