1971 Map of Dedham
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Dedham serves as the central hub of this Iowa landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the fertile plains. The settlement pattern is defined by rural townships such as Newton, Pleasant Valley, and Roselle, reflecting a late-century agricultural economy supported by reliable rail transport and a network of creeks. Waterways like the Middle Raccoon River and Brushy Creek meander through the terrain, while local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit and essential infrastructure like the Water Tank in town. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including McCurdy Cem, Dedham Cem, and St Josephs Cem, alongside the smaller settlements of Willey and Carrollton.
