USGS Topo · Published 1930About this map
The Skunk River and Des Moines River valleys define the agricultural landscape of this central Iowa region just before the Great Depression. At the junction of major rail lines, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Chicago Great Western, towns like Mitchellville and Altoona serve as critical hubs for the surrounding farm townships. This survey is exceptionally dense with rural educational history, mapping dozens of named country schools such as Apple Grove Sch, Trullinger Grove Sch, and Prairie Belle Sch.
