1979 Map of Kimball South

About this map

Kimball serves as the focal point for this 1970s survey, situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line. The landscape is characterized by the broad, relatively flat expanses of the Kimball Plainfield and Highland Wilbur terrain, which are meticulously mapped with five-foot contour intervals to show subtle elevation shifts. This agricultural and prairie environment is marked by scattered wetlands and small ponds, including the Sewage Disp Ponds near the town center. Local heritage is grounded in landmarks like St Margarets Cem and the Kimball State Public Shooting Area, reflecting the community's connection to the land and its recreation. Fine red dashed lines throughout the quadrangle denote field and fence lines, providing a detailed look at land division during this era.
