1939 Map of Hamburg
USGS Topo · Published 1939About this map
McKissock Island sits at the heart of a complex border region where the shifting courses of the Missouri River and Nishnabotna River define the intersections of Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska. Surveyed in 1939 by K. D. Cox and C. L. Stites, the map documents a landscape of fertile bottomlands and intricate water features like Lewis Slough and Holly Slough. The rural social fabric of the era is remarkably dense, evidenced by a high concentration of country schools such as Lewis Sch, Island Sch, and Tiny Sch, alongside community landmarks like Cox Chapel. The eastern portion of the quadrangle rises into more varied terrain drained by High Creek and McElroy Creek, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks provide a vital transport link through the river valley near Greys Lake.
