1966 Map of Mc Paul

About this map

The Missouri River forms the central spine of this mid-1960s survey, separating the high East Rock Bluffs of Nebraska from the flat bottomlands of Iowa. The landscape is defined by the efforts to manage the river's path and drainage, evidenced by a dense network of man-made waterways like Plum Creek Ditch, Lateral Ditch, and Possum Ditch. On the Iowa side, the Forneys Lake State Game Management Area stands as a significant hydrological feature near the base of the eastern bluffs.
