1973 Map of Winthrop

About this map

The town of Winthrop serves as the primary hub in this eastern Buchanan County landscape, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad bisects the grid of local section lines. This rural Midwestern terrain is defined by its agricultural layout and the winding course of Buffalo Creek, which flows southeastward through the center of the sheet and past Buffalo County Park. To the south, the settlement of Quasqueton sits near the banks of Smith Creek, while the small community of Monti is situated in the southeastern corner.
