1970 Map of Jackson NW
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Des Moines River flows through the southwest corner of this region, anchoring the development of Jackson, where the County Fairground and Jackson Country Club served as local social hubs. The landscape is characterized by a sophisticated drainage network of judicial and county ditches, such as Judicial Ditch No 15, which support the agricultural vitality of Enterprise and Belmont townships. This era of infrastructure is marked by the presence of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad and the Jackson Municipal Airport. Local community life is further evidenced by the Mennonite Ch and a rural Townhall, while the Arzt State Wildlife Management Area preserves a pocket of the native environment amidst the organized grid of farm sections and township lines.
