1965 Map of Monroe
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Monroe serves as the primary hub of activity in this mid-1960s survey, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks bisect the town near the Monroe Cem and Gifford Cem. The landscape transition is evident where the grid of the town meets the meandering South Skunk River, which flows past the Riverview Honor Farm and through the timbered areas of Palo Alto and Elk Creek. To the north, the smaller settlement of Reasnor is captured just before modern highway expansions reached the area, as evidenced by a nearby road marked under construction. This map preserves the locations of several country institutions, including Tools Chapel and the Warren Grove Sch, alongside remnant infrastructure like an Old Railroad Grade near Buck Creek.
