About this map

The town of Iola serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s landscape, situated at the junction of local roads and the Chicago Rock Island And Pacific railroad. The geography is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Bedias Creek and its many tributaries like Carter Creek and Neville Creek, which carve through the terrain between the Madison and Grimes county lines.

Social and communal life of the era is anchored by rural landmarks such as Pleasant Grove Ch, Concord Ch, and Shiloh Ch. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of family-named sites and resting places, including Zion Cem and Howard Cem. The presence of a Pumping Sta, an Oil Field, and various pipelines indicates the region's developing industrial infrastructure alongside its established agricultural and rail roots.
