1958 Map of Randolph

About this map

Randolph sits at the northern edge of this James River Valley landscape, serving as a primary point of settlement along the border between Brown and Spink Counties. The region is defined by distinct prairie divisions such as Garden Prairie and La Prairie, where the flat topography is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses and depressions. The diagonal route of the Minneapolis and St Louis railroad cuts across the townships of Beotia and Benton, providing the essential transportation link for this agricultural area during the late 1950s.
