1960 Map of Okabena
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Okabena serves as the central hub of this Jackson County landscape, situated where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts diagonally across the prairie. The topography is defined by an intricate network of water management, with numerous channels like Judicial Ditch No 31 and Judicial Ditch No 17 draining the surrounding fields of Alba and West Heron Lake townships. To the east, the shoreline of South Heron Lake marks a significant natural boundary, while the Little Sioux River meanders through the southern sections near the settlement of Rost. This survey, updated with 1976 photorevisions, illustrates the persistence of a rural agricultural economy, evidenced by local landmarks such as the Lutheran Cem, a community Townhall, and a local Landing Strip located just east of the primary village.
