1980 Map of Cylinder
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The town of Cylinder serves as a central hub on this 1980s landscape, situated at the junction of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul And Pacific railroad and Cylinder Creek. The map documents a highly organized agricultural and drainage system, characterized by numerous ditches like Ditch No 80 and Ditch No 61 that segment the townships of Freedom, Fairfield, and Nevada. To the south, the village of Rodman sits near the Chicago Rock Island And Pacific line and the Riverside Cem. The most striking geographical feature is the Old Channel Des Moines River, where the original meandering path of the water is clearly visible alongside active Gravel Pits, illustrating the historical shift of the riverbed and the area's reliance on glacial deposits for local industry.
