1965 Map of Mackey

About this map

Mackey serves as the primary point of settlement in this mid-1960s agricultural landscape, situated at the intersection of Boone and Hamilton counties. The area is defined by the winding paths of Squaw Creek, Montgomery Creek, and Prairie Creek, which drain the township lands of Marion, Clear Lake, Dodge, and Harrison. Social life and history are anchored by rural institutions like St Marys Ch and St Paul Sch, while numerous family and community burial grounds, such as South Marion Cem, Lake Center Cem, and Leininger Cem, provide essential data for local genealogical research. Industrial activity is visible in the form of several Gravel Pits concentrated near the creek beds and a significant Pipeline corridor cutting across the southern sections of the quadrangle.
