About this map

Agricultural lands at the borders of Hamilton, Hardin, and Story Counties define this mid-1970s landscape, where small rail-aligned towns serve as regional hubs. Garden City sits at the northern edge, near the Stavanger Cem, while Roland and McCallsburg anchor the southwestern and southeastern portions of the map respectively. The drainage of Bear Creek and East Indian Creek cuts through the surveyed sections, illustrating the typical Iowa prairie-to-farmland conversion.

Evidence of infrastructure development is visible through the Chicago and North Western rail line and various pipelines traversing the rural townships. Local community life is centered around landmarks such as Zion Ch and Bergen Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracing families in Scott, Concord, Howard, or Warren townships. The map also records municipal utility footprints like the Sewage Disposal Ponds and the Pumping Station near Erickson Park.
