1964 Map of Lawton

About this map

Lawton and Bronson serve as the primary hubs of this Woodbury County landscape during the mid-1960s. The region is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Big Whisky Creek and Whisky Creek wind through the western townships of Concord and Grange, while Elliott Creek and Deer Creek cut through the central hills. Evidence of earlier transportation infrastructure is visible in the north, where an Old Railroad Grade traverses Banner township near Banner Cem. The agricultural nature of the territory is underscored by the Farmers Ditch in the southwest corner, a vital piece of water management for the local farmsteads. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked locations of Eberly Cem and Floyd Cem, providing precise spatial context for family history research in this rural Iowa prairie.
