USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The town of Lowden serves as the focal point of this Eastern Iowa landscape, situated along the vital corridor of the Chicago And North Western railroad. This survey, based on 1950s aerial photography with late 1970s revisions, illustrates a deeply rooted agricultural community defined by its township boundaries and rural educational network. The distribution of several one-room schoolhouses, including School No 1, Red Oak School, and the Hickey School (Abandoned) in Massillon township, reflects a pre-consolidation rural life.
