1972 Map of Sheffield
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
The agricultural landscape of north-central Iowa is anchored by the rail corridor of the Chicago and North Western as it passes through the towns of Rockwell and Sheffield in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the West Fork Cedar River and its tributaries, including Beaverdam Creek and Lillibridge Creek. Local industry and community infrastructure are clearly marked, from the industrial Claypit and several Gravel Pits near Sheffield to civic spaces like Linn Grove County Park and Galvin Memorial Park. Genealogists will find several rural burial sites, including Hillside Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and St John Zion Cem, providing a detailed look at the settlement patterns between Cerro Gordo and Franklin counties.
