1966 Map of Mahaska

About this map

Mahaska sits at the northern edge of this Washington County landscape, a small prairie settlement defined by the diagonal passage of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The topography is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems, most notably the winding course of Mill Creek and smaller tributaries like Stanley Branch, Muddy, and Bowman. This 1960s survey illustrates a region strictly organized by the township and range system, with the Sixth Principal Meridian serving as a primary surveying benchmark along the western edge.
