1981 Map of Saude

About this map

The Little Turkey River meanders across the rural landscape of Northeast Iowa, anchoring a region defined by scattered agricultural settlements and small country parishes during the early 1980s. The village of Saude sits at the heart of this survey, accompanied by Saude Park and the nearby Saude Ch. To the south, the community of Reilly Settlement is centered around Sacred Heart Ch, illustrating the tight-knit ecclesiastical social structure of the era. The terrain is further marked by legacy landmarks such as Yankee Cem and Bethany Hall, alongside smaller watercourses like Jackson Creek. This map captures a moment when traditional land divisions were still clearly visible, with fine red lines indicating the fence and field boundaries that partitioned the fertile fields of Howard and Chickasaw counties.
