About this map

Russell and Melrose serve as the primary rail hubs along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which cuts across the northern landscape of southern Iowa. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Chariton River and its numerous tributaries, including Honey Creek and the South Fork Chariton River. This 1930s survey reveals an incredibly dense network of rural infrastructure, where nearly every section of land is served by a local schoolhouse.
