About this map

The town of Lincoln anchors the southern portion of this Iowa landscape, situated at the boundary of Lincoln and Grant townships. Just north of the Grundy Co Tama Co line, the settlement of Morrison sits along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which follows the path of Black Hawk Creek. This corridor is a hub of local activity, featuring Shearin Park and a Golf Course situated near the waterway's bends.

Transport and agriculture define the region, with the Chicago and North Western tracks cutting through the southern half. Notable local landmarks include the Township Cem east of Morrison and several drainage systems like Mosquito Creek and Twomile Creek that carve through the sectioned farmland. The map's detail, including a prominent Radio Tower near the center, reflects the rural infrastructure and land management patterns of the early 1970s.
