1953 Map of Malone

About this map

The Warsipinicon River meanders across the southern landscape of this mid-century quadrangle, marking the border near Princeton and Butler. This area of eastern Iowa is defined by a dense network of early rural educational centers, including Quinn School, Burke School, and Gove School in the north, while Hatfield School and Liberty School serve the central townships. The small settlement of Malone sits at a critical junction where the Chicago and Northwestern railroad crosses Cherry Creek. Local family history is preserved in several dedicated grounds like the Pehlam Cemetery and the Hill Dannatt Bowers Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Brophy Creek and Ames Creek reflect the undulating topography that shaped the early 20th-century farmstead layouts throughout Washington and De Witt townships.
