About this map

The agricultural heart of Boone County is centered on Ogden, appearing here as a growing hub defined by the intersection of rural life and early industrial infrastructure. The town's grid is anchored by St Johns church and several educational facilities, including Howe Sch and North Sch. To the north, the landscape is shaped by the sprawling Don Williams County Park and the waters of Don Williams Lake, providing a contrast to the surrounding section lines and farmsteads.

Transport and utility networks are prominent, with the Chicago and North Western railroad cutting east-west through the terrain. The map records a series of rural burying grounds like Maas Cem and Maple Grove Cem, alongside natural drainage features such as Bluff Creek and the various branches of Beaver Creek. These landmarks offer a clear view of the 1980s landscape before subsequent decades of development altered the local farm-to-market character.
