1950 Map of New Cambria West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Mussel Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Dutch Creek and Hickory Branch, dominate this rural landscape on the border of Linn and Macon Counties. The map captures a mid-century agricultural region structured around two primary rail corridors. To the north, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad winds through the hills past the small settlement of Hart, while the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line serves the southern portion near Lingo. Local community life is evidenced by a dense network of country schools and churches, such as Lundy School and the Mt Zion Church. The eastern edge is anchored by New Cambria, showing the town’s residential layout and proximity to St. Mary Cemetery. This topographic record provides exceptional detail for genealogists, preserving the locations of family burial grounds like Tuttle Cemetery and Dowell Cemetery that serve as vital links to the area's early residents.
