1979 Map of Popejoy
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Popejoy sits at the junction of rail and river in north-central Iowa, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific tracks cross the Iowa River. This late-1970s survey captures a landscape defined by industrial agriculture and conservation, featuring several protected riverfront spaces such as Popejoy County Park and the larger Oakland-Iowa River County Park. The meandering course of the river and its tributary, the South Fork Iowa River, contrast with the rigid township grid and the engineered drainage of Sheldon Ditch.
