1978 Map of Eureka West

About this map

The Campbell Co MC Pherson Co boundary line bisects this prairie landscape, where the iron rails of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cut a diagonal path toward the regional hub of Eureka. The town's western edge is defined by a cluster of civic and industrial sites, including the Eureka Municipal Airport and several Gravel Pits. Water is a central theme of this terrain, ranging from the recreational Park and Picnic Areas at Eureka Lake to the protected wetlands of the National Waterfowl Production Area. Local genealogy is anchored by the Zion Cem and the Ch of God Cem located near the Ch of God. The map captures a transition in land use, balancing traditional agriculture and transport with conservation areas and municipal infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal Ponds.
