This aerial confirms the topo map is correct, the depot was north of Main St. and between house tracks and the mainline.

This depot was on the CB&Q tendril that went from Villisca, IA, through Clarinda and to Corning, MO. About 17 miles East of here along US-136, Burlington Junction was on another CB&Q tendril.

Since Mike's comment indicates that the depot made it into the 21st Century, I fired up Google Earth.
