1965 Map of Le Roy
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Chariton River and its various tributaries, including White Breast Creek and Brush Creek, carve through this southern Iowa landscape where Clarke, Lucas, Decatur, and Wayne counties meet. The small village of Le Roy serves as a primary settlement point at the southern edge of the survey, while the evocative name Last Chance appears further north near the river bends. This 1965 field study captures the rural character of the region just as the Old Railroad Grade north of Le Roy remained a visible scar on the land, marking the path of former rail commerce.
