1979 Map of Palmyra

Settlement centers at Palmyra and Modesto are well-defined, showing the residential grid and local landmarks like the Northwestern Community Schools and Holy Rosary Ch. Local aviation is surprisingly prevalent for the period, with the Zelmer Memorial Airport and private runways such as the Weber Landing Strip and Anderson Landing Strip scattered across the township lines. Genealogists will find a dense network of burial grounds, from the Union Cem to the isolated Crawford Cem, reflecting the early pioneer family footprints before the modern reservoir was established.
