1953 Map of De Witt

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River winds through the southern reaches of this Iowa landscape, defining the border between Clinton Scott and Butler townships. At the heart of the region, De Witt serves as a central hub, where the Chicago and Northwestern and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads intersect. This 1950s survey captures a transition in rural education, marking the Virginia School (Abandoned) and Sunnyside School (Abandoned) alongside active locations like Lincoln School and Unity School. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Silver Creek, Crystal Creek, and Ames Creek, which support a landscape of varied agricultural and recreational use. Notable local landmarks such as the Fairgrounds, De Witt Airport, and the Clinton County Sportsman Club reflect the community's mid-century development and social infrastructure.
