1981 Map of Lime Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Upper Iowa River carves a winding path through this northern Iowa landscape, anchored by the settlement of Lime Springs and the village of Chester near the Minnesota border. This 1981 survey reflects a rural corridor defined by agricultural boundaries and the prominent line of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which parallels the river valley. Local recreation and preservation are evident at Lidtke County Park, where the river’s course provides a natural focal point for the community. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain levels out across Saratoga and Howard Center, where the headwaters of the West Branch Turkey River begin to emerge. Genealogists will find the Pleasant Hill Cem clearly marked near the eastern edge, while numerous quarries and gravel pits scattered across the township indicate the local importance of aggregate mining during this era.
