1970 Map of Freeman SE

About this map

Turkey Ridge rises above the rural landscape of southeastern Turner County, defining the local topography as it overlooks the winding path of Turkey Creek. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a highly organized township system, where Rosefield, Marion, Childstown, Norway, Salem, and Spring Valley townships converge. The map preserves the locations of vital community anchors during the late 20th century, including rural schools like North Star Sch and Hillside Sch. Religious life is well-documented through features such as Salem Zion Ch and its namesake Salem Zion Cem, alongside Salem Ch and the Schlosser Cem. These landmarks, along with Fairview Sch and West Cem, offer a clear view of the dispersed settlement pattern and civic infrastructure that supported this agricultural region.
