1961 Map of Mount Ayr
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Mount Ayr serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Newton County, where the transition from prairie to managed farmland is marked by an extensive network of drainage projects. The presence of Deardurff Ditch, Lintner Ditch, and Battleday Ditch illustrates the early 1960s efforts to reclaim and maintain the low-lying terrain for cultivation. In the northeast, the Old Railroad Grade follows a north-south path, indicating a shift in transportation infrastructure as rail lines were replaced by the grid of county roads like East Division Road.
