About this map

The town of Kellogg serves as the central hub of this Iowa landscape, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks cross the North Skunk River. This 1980s-era documentation reveals a rural environment transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the prominent 4 Lane highway cutting through the center and the presence of specialized facilities like the County Home and Beacon Light Sch.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites and rural houses of worship throughout the townships of Buena Vista, Richland, and Kellogg. Key landmarks include Our Silent City Cem and Center Friends Ch, alongside several smaller plots like the Old German Cem. The map also preserves traces of earlier transportation networks with an Old Railroad Grade visible in the southern sections, while the Kellogg State Game Management Area marks the local commitment to conservation near Rock Creek.
