1961 Map of Robinson

About this map

Robinson sits at the heart of this landscape, serving as a central hub where the Union Pacific railroad intersects the prairie terrain. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding paths of the North Fork Wolf River and South Fork Wolf River, which carve through the townships of Hiawatha, Irving, and Mission. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a rural society organized around small school districts and country parishes, evidenced by Belleview Sch and Prairie Springs Sch. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of Upper Wolf Ch and the Ununda Cem. The presence of a Gaging Station and various gravel pits along the riverbanks points to a managed natural landscape, while the northeast corner preserves a pocket of recreation at Brown County State Park.
