1961 Map of Turtle Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Fairview Ch and the neighboring Zion Cem stand as central landmarks in this rural McLean County landscape, surveyed in the late 1950s for the Missouri River Basin development program. The map reveals a highly organized township structure defined by its educational network, including Iowa Sch No 2, Iowa Sch No 3, Park Sch No 3, and Koenig Sch No 4. These distributed schoolhouses underscore the density of the mid-century farming community before further rural consolidation occurred. Along the southern reaches, Painted Woods Creek meanders through the terrain, monitored by a Gaging Station and passing near a localized Gravel Pit. The inclusion of fine red dashed lines representing field and fence lines provides an intimate look at the 1961 land-use patterns and agricultural boundaries of the era.
