1979 Map of Radcliffe

About this map

Radcliffe serves as the central hub of this Iowa landscape, where the Chicago and North Western railroad line intersects with local commerce and recreation at the Radcliffe Golf Course. The map illustrates a strictly organized rural grid system across Lincoln and Sherman townships, revealing a pattern of agricultural land use interspersed with vital community landmarks. To the east, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific tracks run north toward the small settlement of Sherman. This 1970s survey captures a transition in local infrastructure, featuring the Drake Airport and a prominent Radio Tower alongside traditional markers like Salem Ch and the Bethany Cem. The drainage of the land is defined by the winding paths of Honey Creek and Minerva Creek, while several modern Pipelines cross the southern sections near Scott and Concord townships.
