1961 Map of Robinson

About this map

Robinson serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Brown County, where the Union Pacific railroad tracks bisect the town as they follow the natural corridor of the North Fork Wolf River. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a rural community supported by a dense network of country schools and churches, including the Upper Wolf Ch to the south and Prairie Springs Sch to the north. The drainage patterns of the Middle Fork Wolf Creek and Buttermilk Creek define the township boundaries of Hiawatha, Robinson, Mission, and Washington. Local history is preserved in sites like Rose Hill Cem and the Ununda Cem, while the northeastern corner shows the early footprint of Brown County State Park.
