1944 Map of Seymour
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Seymour serves as a significant rail hub in southern Iowa, situated at the intersection of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads. This junction anchors a landscape densely populated with rural institutions, including a remarkable number of one-room schoolhouses such as Morning Star Sch, Little Flock Sch, and the curiously named Cornfield College Sch. The map illustrates the transition from the farm-rich plateaus of Wayne County into the more dissected stream valleys of the south, where Medicine Creek and Shoal Creek cross the Iowa Missouri state line. Evidence of local industry appears at the Forest Valley Mine, while the spiritual life of the era is preserved through numerous rural landmarks like Bollman Chapel and Simpson Chapel.
