About this map

Edina serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s agricultural landscape, situated at the junction of several regional townships including Center, Lyon, and Liberty. The town's infrastructure is clearly defined, featuring a Water Tank, the Knox County High Sch, and the local Edina Golf Club near the Edina Reservoir. To the north, the smaller settlement of Baring sits along the tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, while the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Waterways dominate the rural sections of Knox County, with the South Fabius River and the North Fork South Fork Middle Fabius River meandering through the farmland. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds, such as St Aloysius Cem, Baker Cem, and Linville Cem. The map also identifies industrial and utility features including a Quarry and Sewage Disposal Pond, reflecting the community's mid-century development.
