1968 Map of Deep River
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The agrarian landscape of eastern Iowa is defined here by the confluence of numerous watercourses, including the North English River, Middle English River, and Deep River. Small rural settlements like Dresden and the town of Deep River anchor the township divisions of Lincoln, Deep River, and Dayton. An Old Railroad Grade cuts through the northwestern and southwestern sections of the terrain, indicating the historical path of rail transport that once connected these farming communities. Genealogists will find notable value in several burial sites across the quadrangle, such as Dresden Cem and St Johns Cem. The map illustrates a period in the late 1960s where the land was intensely divided for agriculture, with numerous farmsteads connected by a grid of secondary roads and drainage systems like Jordan Creek and Gritter Creek.
