1982 Map of Yale
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Yale serves as a primary hub in the southwest corner of this Guthrie County landscape, situated along the Chicago and North Western rail line. The rail corridor is a defining feature of the local economy, connecting Yale to the smaller settlements of Herndon and Jamaica to the north. This 1982 survey reveals an area defined by its water management and conservation efforts, including the Lakin Slough State Game Management Area and the Bay Branch State Game Management Area. The terrain is drained by a network of waterways including Mosquito Creek, Greenbrier Creek, and Fannys Branch, all eventually feeding toward the Raccoon River in the northeast. Genealogists will find the Richland Memorial Cemetery and Richland Cemetery preserved west of the rail junction near Herndon, marking the long-standing community roots in Richland township.
