1965 Map of Commerce

About this map

The Raccoon River meanders across this landscape, defining the southern border of the quadrangle where it meets Walnut Woods State Park. The mid-1960s survey, updated with 1976 revisions, shows the suburban edges of Des Moines pushing westward into the rural townships of Webster, Walnut, and Boone. This transition is marked by a complex network of transportation, including the crossing of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Chicago and North Western railroads.
