1941 Map of Keithsburg

About this map

Keithsburg and New Boston sit as the primary riverfront anchors along the Mississippi River in this pre-World War II survey. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major tributaries, including the Edwards River, Pope Creek, and Henderson Creek, which carve through the fertile bluffs and bottomlands. This area demonstrates a highly developed rural infrastructure of the 1930s, with a dense network of country schools such as Abington Center Sch and Sunny Grove Sch serving the farming townships.
