About this map

The town of Neola serves as a primary hub in this Pottawattamie County landscape, situated where the waters of Mosquito Creek wind through the terrain. The map captures the region's transition into the late 20th century, balanced between established rail-line heritage and the modern interstate system, evidenced by Interchange 28 and Interchange 27. To the east, the community of Minden is clearly delineated, while the smaller settlements of Bentley and York Center anchor the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

A significant historical marker on the land is the Old Railroad Grade, which traces a path through the rolling geography, following the natural drainage of Keg Creek. This former transit corridor, alongside the preservation of Arrowhead County Park, illustrates the evolving land use of the area. Genealogists and local researchers can also locate the community Cem near the Neola townsite, while hydrologists can trace the network of the Silver Creek system, including Silver Creek, Little Silver Creek, and Middle Silver Creek.
