1950 Map of New Cambria West

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Mussel Fork and Painter Creek dictate the topography of this rural landscape spanning the Linn and Macon County line. The mid-century settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of country schools such as Lundy Sch, Zion Sch, and Boone Sch, which served the farming communities surrounding Hart and Lingo. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the heavy rail infrastructure of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which passes through Lingo toward the village of New Cambria. Further north, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line cuts across the drainage of Dutch Creek. These competing rail lines provided vital connections for this agricultural region, while spiritual and social life centered on landmarks like Mission Covenant Ch and Mt Zion Ch.
