About this map

North Raccoon River winds through the rural heart of Buena Vista County, defining the drainage patterns and land use of the southeastern Iowa prairie. This 1971 survey captures the agricultural and industrial landscape of the townships of Lee, Poland, Lincoln, and Fairfield. The transportation corridor is anchored by the Chicago and North Western railroad, which parallels the river in the north. Local industry is marked by scattered extraction sites such as the Gravel Pit near the riverbanks. The intersection of public recreation and the natural environment is evidenced by Marathon Poland Park, situated where the rail line and river converge. The map illustrates a meticulously gridded landscape, where section lines and small creek beds dictate the placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure.
