1962 Map of Knob Noster

About this map

Knob Noster serves as the primary hub of this Johnson County landscape, situated along the east-west rail and road corridor. The topography is defined by the northern flow of the Blackwater River, which is fed by an intricate network of tributaries including Clear Fork, Walnut Creek, and Little Walnut Creek. These waterways carve through the terrain, creating a series of ridges and valleys that influenced the placement of early rural settlements like Valley City.
