2015 Map of Downs South

About this map

The North Fork Solomon River and S Fork Solomon River converge across this landscape south of Downs, defining a region characterized by fertile bottomlands and rolling uplands. The settlement of Corinth and the smaller locality of Forney represent established rural communities where the agricultural economy relies on the seasonal flow of waterways like Indian Cr and Twin Cr. For those researching local ancestry, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including Corinth Cem, Iowa Cem, and South Solomon Cem, which serve as vital markers of the area's pioneer families. The section lines and county road network, such as Levy Rd and Co Rd 388, reflect a systematic division of land that has persisted since the nineteenth century, connecting isolated farmsteads to the regional centers.
