1977 Map of Salix
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Salix stands as a focal point in this orthophotoquad, which showcases the agricultural patterns and river dynamics of the Iowa-Nebraska border. Developed from 1977 aerial photography, the imagery provides a clear view of the complex oxbow lakes and meander scars left by the Missouri River as it defines the western boundary of the region. This specific format—a rectified photographic image rather than a traditional line drawing—captures the precise texture of the floodplain, revealing how field boundaries and farmsteads have been adapted to the winding path of the river. The small settlement of Salix appears as a compact grid surrounded by large-scale farming operations, illustrating the rural character of Woodbury County during the late 1970s.
