About this map

David City and the village of Bellwood anchor this 1960s landscape, illustrating the agricultural and transit patterns of the Missouri River Basin. The terrain is defined by the contrast between flat upland plains and the complex drainage systems of Bone Creek and Deer Creek. Transport infrastructure is prominent, with the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cutting diagonally across the northern townships, while the Union Pacific line serves the southeastern corner at the edge of the county seat.

Genealogical markers are frequent throughout the rural sections, including St Marys Sch and St Marietta Sch. Community life is further evidenced by the Fairground in the south and the SS Peter & Mary Cem located centrally between the primary settlements. The presence of a Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal Ponds reflects mid-century utility developments amidst the established farmsteads of Savannah and Olive townships.
