1956 Map of Ottumwa South
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Des Moines River crossings and a dense network of early rural institutions define the landscape between Ottumwa and Bloomfield in the mid-1950s. The region is marked by a high concentration of country schools and churches, many already reflecting the shift in rural demographics, such as the Franklin Star Sch (Abandoned) and Stark Sch (Abandoned). Local centers like Agency, Floris, and Belknap are connected by a complex rail infrastructure including the Chicago Rock Island And Pacific and Wabash lines.
