1970 Map of Lime Creek

About this map

The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts a diagonal path through this corner of Murray County, connecting the grain-growing landscape of Bondin and Belfast townships. At the southern edge, the town of Fulda serves as a local hub, featuring a Nursing Home, a Radio Tower, and the Sewage Disposal Ponds. The rural character of the area is underscored by the presence of multiple Gravel Pit locations and the meandering course of the Des Moines River to the north and east. For those researching family history, the map precisely locates Prairie Hill Cem and St Gabriel Cem. Significant acreage is dedicated to conservation, with both the Irruption State Wildlife Management Area and the Haberman State Wildlife Management Area protecting the prairie wetlands and watercourses like Bondin Creek and the namesake Lime Creek.
