1969 Map of Quimby SE

About this map

The western edge of Holstein and the agricultural landscape of Griggs township dominate this 1969 survey of the rural Ida and Cherokee County line. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Silver Creek, Fourmile Creek, and Ashton Creek, which carve through the high ground of the Iowa prairies. This specific map records the interface between the growing town of Holstein and the surrounding farm sections during the late 1960s, a period of modernized agriculture following the development of the Missouri River Basin. Genealogists and local historians will find the exact locations of the Silver Cem and Holstein Cem, along with the distinctive Radio Tower landmark that punctuated the rural skyline. The map's detailed section lines and property boundaries provide a clear view of the land division across the townships of Willow, Diamond, and Silver.
