1978 Map of Red Oak South

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Agricultural lands and rolling drainages dominate this landscape south of Red Oak, where the Nishnabotna R cuts through the northwest corner of the quadrangle. The map captures the infrastructure of late-1970s rural Iowa, showing the Burlington Northern line and a prominent Old Railroad Grade that traces the historical movement of goods across the prairie. Small communities and rural gathering points like Nyman and Hewitt are documented alongside local landmarks such as the Fremont Ch and Mt Hope Cem. The transition between Montgomery Co and Page Co is clearly marked, illustrating how township boundaries like Grant, Fremont, and Scott organized the farming economy. Waterways including West Tarkio Creek and the Tarkio River provide natural landmarks for researchers tracing 20th-century land use and family farm locations.
