1956 Map of Pacific Junction
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Burlington Northern railroad corridors define the industrial character of this corner of Mills County, intersecting at the vital rail hub of Pacific Junction. This mid-century survey reveals the complex drainage and agricultural management of the Missouri River bottoms, where a massive levee system protects the townships of St Marys and Plattville from the shifting Missouri River. The landscape is etched with irrigation and drainage features like St Marys Ditch and the Northern Ditch, illustrating the intensive effort to reclaim and maintain these fertile lowlands for farming.
