1964 Map of Corning

About this map

Corning sits at the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, positioned where the Missouri Pacific railroad crosses the meandering Black River. The survey reveals a region defined by extensive drainage projects, with the Brown and Cleveland districts crisscrossed by numerous waterways like Byrnes Ditch and Indian Creek Ditch. To the north, the settlement of Moark marks the proximity of the state line, while the southern reaches are dominated by the oxbows and sloughs of the river bottom, including Victory Lake and Corning Lake.
