About this map

Dallas Center and Waukee anchor this 1906 survey of the prairie landscape west of Des Moines, where the grid of sections is heavily influenced by the meandering courses of the North Raccoon River and South Raccoon River. The era is defined by a dense rail network, with the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul R. R. and the St. Louis R. R. intersecting to create junction towns and shipping points for local agriculture.
