I am modeling Creston to Pacific Junction pre-1950. I also plan to do 
the Clarinda branch. 

I received copies of the Sanborn maps for most of the towns along the 
line. 

I was wondering if anyone could direct me to were I might find good 
photos of Structures on Villisca and Clarinda.


Richard -

For older buildings, a good possibility would be the commercially published 
county atlases common in the Midwest from around 1885 to 1920 or so. These 
would often feature pics of major businesses, industry and VIP residences.

Another is local or area newspaper morgues. Local libraries often have photo 
collections, as do County Historical Societies.

It's a lot of fun digging for this kind of stuff <grin>
