1969 Map of Cushing

About this map

Cushing serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the late 1960s, situated near the intersection of Bacon Creek and an Old Railroad Grade. This decommissioned rail line provides a clear look at the changing transportation infrastructure of Woodbury County, tracing a path just north of the village. The surrounding townships, including Douglas, Rock, and Battle, are defined by a network of drainage systems like Coon Creek and the West Fork Battle Creek. Local history is anchored at sites such as Cushing Cem and Rock Cem, while the southern reaches of the map are drained by Moorhead Creek and Aldrich Creek. The map also notes modern municipal developments of the era, such as the Sewage Disposal Pond east of the town center.
