USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Nichols sits at the junction of two major rail lines in this 1970 snapshot, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads crisscross the fertile Iowa bottomlands. The landscape is defined by the sweeping curves of the Cedar River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Wapsinonoc Creek and Honey Creek. These waterways once dictated the placement of small rural communities and local infrastructure like the McKeown Bridge.
