1957 Map of Loomis

About this map

Loomis sits at the center of this 1957 survey, a small settlement defined by the north-south tracks of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. The surrounding prairie landscape is organized into civil townships including Badger, Perry, and Letcher, where a network of rural schoolhouses such as Titus Sch, Jefferson Sch, and Lincoln Sch served the farming community. The topography is marked by the winding course of the James River to the east and the significant presence of Lake Mitchell at the southern boundary.
