About this map

The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts a diagonal path across this Frontier County landscape, following the natural contours of the Loess Hills. This mid-century survey captures a rural environment in transition, where the infrastructure of early settlement has begun to fade. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Deer Creek Canyon and Deer Creek, which break the upland plains into the distinct topographic regions of Walker, Moorefield, and Russell.
