USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
The Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul Railroad and the Chicago and North Western Railroad dominate this 1889 survey of central Jones County, intersecting at the hub of Center Junction. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from the winding, wooded riparian corridors of the Maquoketa River and the Wapsipinicon River to a highly organized grid of rural townships. These rail lines served as the lifeblood for established towns like Monticello and Wyoming, while also sustaining smaller stops such as Longworthy, Scotch Grove, and Hale.
