1967 Map of Holstein

About this map

Holstein serves as the primary hub of this Ida County landscape, situated where the Chicago and North Western Railroad Grade parallels the northern township line. The surrounding terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of Battle Creek, including the West Fork Battle Creek and East Fork Battle Creek, which carve through the townships of Battle and Logan. This 1960s survey documents a settled agricultural region where community life is anchored by landmarks like the Battle Center Ch and dedicated burial grounds such as the Norwegian Cem and OLGC Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the local infrastructure during this period, from the Sewage Disposal Ponds near the town center to the Radio Tower on the southern edge of the quadrangle, reflecting the mid-century evolution of rural Iowa life.
