About this map

Ankeny stands at the northern edge of this mid-century survey, situated within a dense network of competing rail lines that defined the Des Moines periphery. The landscape is marked by the industrial and transport infrastructure of the 1950s, featuring the Chicago and North Western and Fort Dodge Des Moines and Southern railroads. Smaller unincorporated settlements like Oralabor and Marquisville are visible alongside the developing outskirts of Des Moines to the south.
