1966 Map of Cuba

About this map

The intersection of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads defines the township of Cuba, serving as a central hub for this Republic County agricultural landscape in the mid-1960s. The town's religious and community life is anchored by St Isidore Ch, while the surrounding rural landscape in Farmington and Richland townships is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including Bohemian Cem and Hawks Cem. Waterways like the North Fork Mill Creek and South Fork Mill Creek meander through the terrain, which is also crisscrossed by infrastructure including a major Pipeline. Several Sandpit operations indicate local industrial activity amidst the prevailing farmstead patterns of the era.
