1965 Map of West Liberty SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Pleasant Valley and Lincoln townships define this agricultural landscape in Johnson County, where a network of prairie streams feeds the surrounding valley floor. The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the northern sections, passing a Pumping Station as it skirts the headwaters of Snyder Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the specific locations of several rural burying grounds, including Scott Cem, Walker Cem, and Fountain Cem. The terrain is characterized by the convergence of multiple waterways such as Pechman Creek and Buck Creek, while the southern reaches of Fremont township are marked by the managed drainage of Ditch No 2. This mid-century survey captures a period of established family farms before more modern suburban expansion altered the rural character of the corridor between Iowa City and West Liberty.
