1970 Map of Missouri Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Missouri Valley stands as a significant rail and highway crossroads on the eastern edge of the Missouri River floodplain in the early 1970s. The town's grid is bounded by the winding course of Willow Creek, while the broader landscape is defined by the flat, fertile bottomlands of the Cincinnati and Taylor townships. To the northeast, the terrain shifts abruptly as the loess hills rise above the valley floor, providing a elevated location for Mt Carmel Cem. Water management is a primary feature of this agricultural corridor, evidenced by the channelized paths of Allen Creek and various drainage ditches that crisscross the low-lying plains west of the city. The infrastructure recorded here shows the intersection of local watercourses with the modern expansion of the regional transportation network during this period.
