1972 Map of Rising Sun

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Des Moines River winds through the southeastern portion of this landscape, marking the border between Polk and Warren counties near Carlisle. This early 1970s survey captures a transition from rural townships like Four Mile and Camp toward suburban expansion in Woodland Hills. Small settlements such as Rising Sun and Adelphi remain distinct, connected by the Vandalia Road and the path of the Norfolk and Western Railroad.
