1967 Map of Slayton SW

About this map

Lismore sits in the southwestern corner of this agricultural landscape, anchored by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line that cuts through the southern townships. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Champepadan Creek and Kanaranzi Creek, which drain the undulating prairie land across the Murray Co Nobles Co border. While the map is dominated by rural township divisions like Leota, Wilmont, and Larkin, it also captures the era's localized industry through scattered Gravel Pits and a Gaging Station positioned along the southern waterway. This 1960s survey provides a clear look at the section-line road network and small-town infrastructure just before significant changes in mid-century rail transport and agricultural consolidation.
