1971 Map of Guthrie Center West

About this map

Guthrie Center occupies the eastern edge of this western Iowa landscape, where the town's residential grid meets the Fairground and the Guthrie Center Municipal Airport. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Raccoon River, which draws a green belt through the center of the map, and several smaller tributaries like Seely Creek and Frost Creek. This 1970s survey illustrates a region of dispersed rural settlements and local civic infrastructure, including the Townhall north of the river and the Wichita community to the northwest.
