1971 Map of Fedora

About this map

Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail lines cut across the southern edge of this prairie landscape, providing the primary transportation corridor through Diana and Clinton townships in the early 1970s. The meandering course of Redstone Creek and its various forks define the topography, creating a pattern of drainage that dictated the placement of rural landmarks. Local community life is anchored by small, decentralized sites such as the Townhall and Glen View Ch, alongside several burial grounds serving the surrounding townships, including Prairie Flower Cem, Morgans Cem, and the Fedora Cem. The map illustrates a high degree of land management, with numerous wells and field boundaries plotted across the sections of Afton, Benedict, and Miner, reflecting the area's established agricultural character and civil organization at the time of the 1971 field check.
