1971 Map of Mapleton SE

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Maple River valley and its surrounding uplands characterize this 1971 survey of Monona County, illustrating the agrarian and educational landscape of the period. A prominent landmark is the Iowa State University Western Research Center, which stands as a hub for regional agricultural study. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses including McCleery Creek, Jordan Creek, and Beaver Creek, all feeding into the larger river systems that defined the local drainage and land use before late-century developments. Local genealogy is anchored by several rural burial grounds such as Center Cem in the north and Jordan Cem near the southern boundary. To the southeast, the Soldier River cuts across the corner of the sheet, providing another significant riparian corridor. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present in the form of a Gravel Pit, reflecting the extraction of glacial deposits common to this part of Iowa.
