1909 Map of Knoxville
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Knoxville serves as the focal point of this central Iowa landscape, positioned at a critical junction of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR. The 1909 survey records a transition period in Marion County, where the Des Moines River winds through the northern townships, passing settlements like Red Rock and Cordova. The map reveals an exceptionally dense network of rural infrastructure, particularly the dozens of neighborhood schools such as Stringtown School, Rising Star School, and Victory School that once anchored these farming townships.
