About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary industrial artery across this section of Jones County, carving through the central townships. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the landscape is defined by vast tracts of open land organized into administrative districts such as Washington, Union, Scovil, and Highland. The natural drainage of the area is led by Ash Draw, which meanders through the northern quadrants toward the rail line. Evidence of modern automotive travel is present near the Okaton and Murdo boundaries, where a highway Rest Area stands as a rare landmark in a region dominated by wide-scale agriculture and transit networks. This survey preserves the spatial relationship between the historic rail path and the evolving prairie townships.
