About this map

Waverly serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the early 1980s, where the Burlington Northern railroad bisects the town's grid. The area is notable for its numerous burial grounds, including St Sebastians Cem, East Cem, and Allis Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research. To the south, the smaller settlement of Rohrer sits near the headwaters of Apple Creek, marking a shift toward more dissected terrain.

Industrial and utility infrastructure is prominently mapped, most notably the large Underground Gas Storage Field and its associated Gas Pump Sta and Pipe Line-Meter Sta. These features, along with the Sewage Disposal Plant, reflect the mid-century development of regional energy and waste management systems. The map also delineates several township boundaries, including Maxwell, Talkington, and North Palmyra, which define the local administrative geography.
