1952 Map of Winterset

About this map

The Middle River and its tributaries carve through the rolling farmland of Madison County, framing the local hub of Winterset. This mid-century survey captures a landscape defined by its rural civic structure, where the square grid of roads is dotted with numerous district schools and community landmarks. Of particular note is Pammel State Park, which preserves a scenic bend of the river and includes the unique Harmon Tunnel, a rare engineering feature in this agricultural setting.
