1980 Map of Vail NE

About this map

The Middle Raccoon River and its tributaries, including Lime Creek and Beaman Creek, define the rolling agricultural landscape of this Iowa borderland. Surveyed in the mid-1970s, the map reveals a countryside partitioned by traditional township lines including Viola, Wheatland, Levey, and Jackson. This era shows a transition in rail history, with both the Illinois Central Gulf and Chicago and North Western rail lines traversing the northern reaches of the quadrangle. For those researching local family histories, the map identifies key rural community hubs such as Wheatland Ch Cem, South Wall Lake Cem, and Emmanuel Cem. The inclusion of fine red dashed lines to indicate field fences provides a unique level of detail regarding land use and property boundaries during this period.
