About this map

David City anchors the southwestern corner of this Butler County landscape, showing the town's structural layout in the late 1960s. The map captures the edge of the municipal center, including the local Hospital and High Sch, while the surrounding countryside is defined by the townships of Franklin, Bone Creek, and Linwood. To the north, the small community of Octavia sits along an Old Railroad Grade, contrasting with the active Union Pacific tracks running through the county seat. This survey provides a look at rural life in the Missouri River Basin before modern development, marking local landmarks like Assumption Ch and Appleton Sch that served the agricultural community. The drainage patterns of Bone Creek and Skull Creek dominate the topography, illustrating the natural watercourses that shaped early farm boundaries.
