1980 Map of Harvey
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Des Moines River meanders through this landscape, dividing Lake Prairie from the surrounding township as it flows toward the community of Harvey. The map details a transition between protected natural areas and industrial footprints, shown by the Pella State Game Management Area adjacent to extensive Strip Mined Areas. The regional transport network is anchored by the Norfolk and Western Burlington Northern rail lines and an Old Railroad Grade that traces the historic movement of goods through small settlements like Durham and Tracy. For the family historian, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including Eureka Cem and Porter Grove Cem, which remain as fixed points in an area otherwise altered by mining and the waters of Lake Red Rock. These features together reveal a mid-continent landscape balancing conservation, extraction, and rural residency.
