1985 Map of Worthington

About this map

Worthington serves as the primary hub in this mid-1980s look at the agricultural heart of Southwest Minnesota and Northwest Iowa. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of section lines and the tracks of the Chicago and North Western railroad, which links together small elevator towns like Brewster, Reading, and Rushmore. To the north and east, the drainage of the Des Moines River and Watonwan River feeds into numerous natural basins and conservation areas, including Talcot Lake and Kilen Woods State Park.
