1972 Map of Corwith

About this map

Corwith stands as the central hub of this northern Iowa landscape in the early 1970s, where the Chicago and North Western railroad cuts diagonally across the section lines. The town's local infrastructure is detailed, showing the St Marys Ch and nearby Corwith Cem and St Marys Cem. The map illustrates the convergence of several townships, including Prairie, Boone, Luverne, Magor, and Vernon, highlighting the rigid grid of the American heartland. Waterways like the Boone River and East Boone River wind through the southern and eastern portions of the map, providing a natural contrast to the surveyed township lines. For genealogists and local historians, the location of Township Cem and the detailed boundary markers between Humboldt, Hancock, Wright, and Kossuth counties offer precise points for tracing family landholdings and community evolution during this era.
