1972 Map of Ocheyedan
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Ocheyedan Mound rises as a prominent landmark in this prairie landscape of northwestern Iowa during the early 1970s. This survey records the town of Ocheyedan, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad crosses the Ocheyedan River. The local geography is defined by glacial drainage patterns, featuring the Little Ocheyedan River and Osterman Creek winding through the townships of Horton and Ocheyedan. To the east, the Rush Lake State Game Management Area surrounds Rush Lake, with the Rush Lake Outlet feeding southward. Rural infrastructure of the era is represented by the Zion Sch and several Gravel Pits, while a Roadside Park along the highway north of town serves travelers. This period map captures the community just as it maintained its role as a regional rail and agricultural hub for Osceola County.
