About this map

The McIntire settlement serves as the primary hub on this northern Iowa landscape, where the Wapsipinicon River winds through the townships of Wayne and Jenkins. This 1970s survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a rural borderland where Mitchell and Howard Counties meet the Minnesota state line. Transportation patterns are clearly defined by the Chicago and North Western rail line and several stretches of Abandoned track and Old Railroad Grade, marking the evolution of the regional dairy and grain transit network.

Local landmarks such as Wayne Cem and the Wapsi River Access point to long-standing community centers, while the presence of a Quarry and Gravel Pit near the riverbanks indicates the extraction of local resources. To the east, Oakdale and Jamestown townships are characterized by the flow of Staff Creek and the recreational waters of Lake Hendricks, providing a detailed look at the agricultural and water-oriented geography of the era.
