1968 Map of Obert

About this map

The village of Obert sits at the center of this 1960s survey, marking a key settlement point on the border between Cedar and Dixon counties. This area is characterized by its agricultural drainage systems, where Ames Creek and Lime Creek carve through the northern landscape while East Bow Creek flows to the south. The mapping detail highlights a rural social infrastructure that was still clearly visible in the late 1960s, including the Brookey Bottom Sch and Sunny Lea Sch, alongside several rural burial grounds like the Obert Cem and Lime Creek Cem. A Historical Monument is noted in the northern hills, suggesting early pioneer or surveying significance. The presence of several Sandpits indicates local extraction efforts that supported the region's road and construction needs during this period of the Missouri River Basin's development.
