USGS Topo · Published 1914About this map
The Des Moines River carves a deep valley through the heart of central Iowa, creating a striking topographical contrast with the surrounding prairie townships. This 1914 edition reveals the early 20th-century landscape of Boone, Dallas, and Polk counties, where the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul Railway and the Inter-Urban Line intersect to connect bustling rural hubs. The rail network was the lifeblood of the region, supporting agricultural centers like Madrid, Woodward, and Luther.
