About this map

The town of Hamburg serves as the focal point for this survey where Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska converge. Situated between the Missouri River and the Nishnabotna River, the landscape is defined by the complex water management of the Missouri River Basin. The presence of Main Ditch No 6 and the High Creek Ditch illustrates the extensive drainage efforts required to maintain the agricultural utility of Mc Kissick Island and surrounding lowlands.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Burlington Northern railroad lines and the Hamburg Airport supporting the region's connectivity. Local history is anchored by Hamburg Cem and St Marys Cem, while traces of earlier transit remain visible through an Old Railroad Grade labeled as abandoned. The map also identifies industrial landmarks such as a Water Tank and a Gaging Station, providing specific points of interest for historical researchers.
