1961 Map of Mapleton

About this map

The Maple River and Rush River wind across this Cass County landscape, defining the agricultural and transport patterns of the early 1960s. The Burlington Northern railroad serves as the primary corridor for commerce, connecting the grain-handling centers of Mapleton, Prosper, and Newman. While much of the land is organized into the townships of Berlin, Harmony, Raymond, and Durbin, smaller community hubs like the Townhall and the Mapleton Cem provide clear markers for genealogical research and local history.
