USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The confluence of the North Raccoon River and South Raccoon River anchors this mid-1960s landscape, where the waterways meet to form the main Raccoon River. This convergence defines the local topography, creating a corridor for major transportation lines including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The settlement of Van Meter sits at the junction of Bulger Creek and the river, showing its early importance as a rail stop equipped with a Gaging Station and nearby Gravel Pit operations.
