About this map

The village of Greenwood sits as a central hub in this mid-1960s study, positioned where the Burlington Northern railroad meets the meandering path of Salt Creek. The landscape transition from the Waverly and Mill precincts into Greenwood is marked by a network of drainage systems including Robinson Br, Callahan Creek, and Greenwood Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks from this era, such as School No 81 near the northern border and a series of burial sites including Greenwood Cem, Belmont Cem, and Alvo Cem. The map captures the infrastructure of the Missouri River Basin development, noting active gaging stations and a prominent Pipeline corridor. The presence of the C R I & P railroad in the south further illustrates the importance of rail transport to these communities at the time of the 1972 revisions.
