1943 Map of Parnell

About this map

Parnell serves as a central hub for agricultural commerce in Nodaway County during the early 1940s, situated at the intersection of the Chicago Great Western railroad and the Great Western Highway. This survey reveals a remarkably dense network of rural infrastructure, where nearly every section of land is anchored by a local schoolhouse or church. Unique social markers like Common Sense Sch and Common Sense Cem sit near Orrsburg, while the southern reaches are dominated by the significant religious complex of St Benedict Convent at Clyde.
