About this map

Eagle Center serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in the early 1960s, situated at the junction of two rural routes. The map illustrates a community anchored by religious and educational institutions, including St Mary Sch to the east and the Geneseo Ch and Geneseo Sch located further south near the winding path of Wolf Creek. This area is defined by its drainage patterns, where Miller Creek and Mud Creek cut through the gently sloping terrain of Eagle and Geneseo townships.

Industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Quarry and gravel pit sites, while a small Landing Field near the center of the quadrangle suggests the integration of private aviation into the mid-century rural economy. Local history is preserved in the location of Township Cem and Hill Cem, which provide reference points for genealogical research across the Black Hawk, Tama, and Benton county lines.
