1971 Map of Peterson
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Peterson sits as a primary settlement along the winding course of the Little Sioux River, just north of the Clay and Buena Vista county line. This early 1970s survey captures a landscape defined by the river’s deep meanders and the Chicago and North Western railroad that parallels its banks. The presence of Wanata State Park and Buena Vista County Park highlights a corridor of preserved land along the bluffs, contrasting with the expansive agricultural sections of Lincoln and Peterson townships. Genealogy and local history details include the Oakland Cem and Bartram Camp, while small industrial footprints are marked by scattered Gravel Pits and the municipal Sew Disp Pond serving the town.
