1965 Map of Dyersville West

About this map

The North Fork Maquoketa River carves a deep valley through the eastern edge of this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a focal point for the settlements of Dyersville, Rockville, and Worthington. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Plum Creek, Silver Creek, and Bear Creek, which reveal the area's complex drainage pattern and rich agricultural layout. The local economy and transport of the era are clearly marked by three distinct rail lines—the Illinois Central, the Chicago Great Western, and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific.
