About this map

Foley serves as the central hub of this late 1960s survey, showing the community's layout at the junction of the Great Northern railroad and regional roadways. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and drainage systems, with the Elk River winding through the northern sections near Jakeville and Gilman. Local civic life is anchored by features like the Foley Sch, the St Johns Cem, and a Townhall located further north in Gilmanton township.

A notable geological feature, the Granite Ledge, marks the northeastern boundary of the quadrangle, reflecting the stony terrain that characterizes parts of Benton County. Evidence of the mid-century infrastructure is visible through the prominent Pipeline corridors and several Gravel Pits scattered across St George and Glendorado townships. The map also documents municipal footprints such as the Wayside Park and the local Sewage Disposal Ponds southeast of the village center.
