1971 Map of Peterson SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The agricultural heart of Buena Vista County unfolds across this early 1970s landscape, where rural life is anchored by established country churches and cemeteries. A notable landmark in the northwest corner is the Childrens Home, situated near the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek. The township divisions of Brooke, Barnes, Elk, and Scott define the grid-like organization of the territory, which is carved by a network of drainage systems including Brooke Creek and Maple Creek. Local genealogy and community history are preserved in several family and congregational sites, such as the St John Ch Cem and Plainview Cem. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pit locations, while a Landing Strip in the southwest suggests the modern integration of aviation into this remote farming region.
