USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The West Fork Nishnabotna River carves a broad valley through Shelby and Crawford counties, anchoring the agricultural landscape of this western Iowa region in the early 1970s. The town of Defiance serves as a local hub, situated where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad meets the primary north-south corridor. This survey documents the specific placement of community landmarks, including the St Pauls Cem and Township Cem west of the main settlement.
