1962 Map of Petersburg

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The unincorporated community of Petersburg sits at a crossroads in Delaware County, surrounded by the fertile drainages of Bear Creek and Coffee Creek. This rural landscape in the early 1960s was defined by its agricultural layout and small family-named landmarks like the Platt Cem. To the south, the Chicago Great Western railroad corridor creates a distinct line across the terrain, serving the Petersburg Sta. The map reveals the era's local extractive industry through several scattered Quarry and Gravel Pit sites, particularly near the North Fork Maquoketa River. In the northern reaches, the confluence of the Turkey River and Little Turkey River marks a shift toward more complex topography near Hollow Point. The placement of St Patrick Cem near the northern boundary reflects the long-standing community centers that anchored this farming region.
