1965 Map of Dyersville East

About this map

Dyersville and its surrounding townships in Dubuque County are defined by a dense network of mid-century rail lines and agricultural boundaries during the mid-1960s. The convergence of the Chicago Great Western and the Chicago Illinois Central railroads creates a distinct industrial corridor through the northern half of the region, while the C M St P & P line services Worthington to the south. This era shows the local landscape transitioning from purely agrarian roots to more organized municipal development, evidenced by the established Corporate Boundary and the proximity of numerous local quarries.
