1966 Map of Monterey

About this map

Monterey and St Charles anchor this mid-1960s landscape in Cuming County, where small rural settlements are defined by their parish foundations and local school districts. The terrain is deeply carved by the drainage systems of North Branch Pebble Creek and South Branch Pebble Creek, which converge to create a complex network of ridgelines and creek bottoms. For genealogists, the map identifies specific landmarks like St Boniface Cem near Monterey and St Anthony Cem in the St Charles vicinity, alongside rural education outposts such as School No 41. The drainage patterns, including Fisher Creek and Coffee Creek, show how water management dictated the placement of farmsteads and transport routes in this portion of the Missouri River Basin development area. To the northeast, McKinahan Lake provides a distinct geographic marker amidst the agricultural grid.
