Sperry and Dodgeville anchor this mid-1960s portrait of Des Moines County, where the transition from industrial utility to rural farmstead is clearly defined. The northern section is marked by heavy infrastructure, including a Gypsum Plant and Water Tank near the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line. This transport corridor served as the primary artery for the small settlements of Yellow Springs and Benton townships.
