1964 Map of Gibbon
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Gibbon serves as the primary hub of this Sibley County landscape, situated along the Chicago and North Western rail line during the mid-1960s. The surrounding prairie is defined by an extensive drainage network, including Judicial Ditch No 8 and County Ditch No 31, which transformed the wet terrain of Moltke and Severance townships into productive farmland. This era of agricultural transition is visible in the presence of the Alkali Lakebed and the southern reaches of Swan Lake. Local community life is anchored by rural landmarks such as St Peters Sch, a local Townhall, and several religious sites including Augustana Cem and St Willibrord Cem. Numerous Gravel Pits dot the countryside, reflecting the infrastructure needs of a growing rural road system.
