1967 Map of Jackson

About this map

The Missouri River and Big Sioux join in the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking the intersection of Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa. This 1967 survey captures the distinct transition from the river bottomlands to the rising bluffs and hills of the St Johns and Hubbard precincts. A major rail corridor centers on Jackson, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy tracks align through the valley floor. To the south, the village of Hubbard sits near the headwaters of Jones Creek and Pigeon Creek, which have been partially redirected via the Pigeon Creek Ditch. The presence of St Johns Cem and St Marys Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in these early farming communities. Land use is characterized by a grid of field lines and property boundaries, interspersed with active resource extraction at the Gravel Pit near the northern bluffs.
