1983 Map of Concord

About this map

Indian Creek and Little Indian Creek carve through the agricultural landscape north of the village of Concord, where the Burlington Northern railroad serves as a primary corridor for the region's movement. This area of Morgan County is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Mt Vernon Cem, Angel Cem, and Walnut Grove Cem, which dot the uplands between the creek branches. Farther south, the County Farm Cem and Caldwell Cem reflect the rural social history and settlement patterns near Joy Prairie. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Mauvaise Terre Creek and Lick Creek, while specialized features like the Williams Landing Strip and the Triopia High Sch campus indicate the modern rural infrastructure. Water management for the local community is evident at the Concord Reservoir, and recreational or agricultural water sources such as Roegge Lake and Leland Lake are scattered throughout the southern half of the quadrangle.
