1983 Map of Stuart South

About this map

Stuart sits at the northern edge of this agricultural landscape, where the prairie begins its descent into the drainage basins of the North River and Middle River. This 1983 survey shows a region defined by established township boundaries including Jefferson, Lincoln, Grove, and Harrison. The presence of several rural landmarks, such as Mt Vernon Ch and Fairview Ch, indicates the enduring centers of these small farming communities. To the south and west, the terrain becomes more varied as Plunger Creek and Jim Creek carve through the land. Transportation infrastructure is represented by the heavy corridor of Highway 80 and local landmarks like Wasson Landing Strip. A small Quarry near the Middle River and several municipal Sew Disp Ponds illustrate the local industrial and utility footprint within this Adair County landscape.
