1966 Map of West Point

About this map

West Point serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated along the eastern bank of the Elkhorn River. The landscape transitions from the river's wide floodplain, dotted with bodies of water like McKirahan Lake and Horseshoe Lake, into the rolling uplands of Garfield, Sherman, and Cuming townships. The Chicago and North Western railroad corridor parallels the river, anchoring the local economy and supporting industry near the Waterworks and Sewage Disposal sites.
