1981 Map of Cresco SW
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Turkey River and its multiple tributaries define the drainage and settlement patterns of this Howard County landscape in the early 1980s. The township divisions of Howard Center, Vernon Springs, Paris, and New Oregon organize a largely agrarian region marked by scattered rural infrastructure. The historic community of Vernon Springs sits near the Vernon Springs County Park, while the smaller settlement of Schley is located further south near Holy Cross Ch. Diverse watercourses including the West Branch North Turkey River, South Branch Turkey River, and Bohemian Creek highlight the intricate hydrography of the area. Local industry and recreation are represented by several Gravel Pit operations, a Quarry, and the local Golf Course.
