1955 Map of Balltown
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge dominates the central landscape of this mid-century survey, where the border between Iowa and Wisconsin is defined by the shifting channels and numerous islands of the Upper Mississippi River. Landmarks such as Hurricane Island, Rosebrook Island, and McCartney Lake illustrate the complex riparian environment before modern alterations. Along the riverbanks, the infrastructure of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads highlights the vital transportation corridor connecting regional trade centers.
