1975 Map of Maxwell

About this map

Maxwell sits along the southern edge of this mid-1970s survey, defined by the grid of its residential streets and the path of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. The landscape is dominated by the branching drainage system of Indian Creek and its tributaries, including West Indian Creek and Calamus Creek. To the north, the small community of Iowa Center and the residential development at Robison-Whitaker Acres appear as outliers in a primarily agricultural region. Several historical burial grounds are dispersed throughout the townships, including Pleasant Run Cem, Woodland Cem, and Center Grove Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists. The topography is also shaped by industrial and recreational sites, such as the various Gravel Pit locations along the creek beds and the Indian Creek Country Club situated near the intersection of the Grant and Nevada township lines.
