About this map

Maskell and Newcastle serve as the primary hubs in this Dixon County landscape, situated just south of the winding Missouri River. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Turkey Creek, Deer Creek, and East Creek, which carve through the plains. The northern boundary is defined by the river's broad channel and its confluence with the Vermillion River coming from the north.

Local history is grounded in sites like the Maskell Post Office and Maskell Cemetery, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle show more modern water management at Buckskin Hills Lake and the Aowa Creek Reservoir 61-11A. This survey documents a quiet rural economy defined by township section lines and roads such as So Highway 15, which connects the small settlements of Lime Grove and Newcastle.
