About this map

Correctionville and Anthon serve as the primary hubs along the meandering path of the Little Sioux River in this late 1960s survey of eastern Woodbury County. The landscape is defined by the river's extensive floodplain and its many tributaries, including Pierson Creek, Bacon Creek, and Big Creek. Transportation history is clearly visible through the Illinois Central railroad corridor and an Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the northern townships of Rutland and Union.

Genealogists will find valuable local landmarks such as Correctionville Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and the Hillside Ch near the river. The area's recreational development is highlighted by the Little Sioux County Park and Copeland Park, which provide context for the region's land use during this period. Numerous Gravel Pits scattered along the river valley indicate the local extractive industry that supported the region's infrastructure.
