USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Mississippi River creates a powerful border between Wisconsin and Iowa in this mid-century survey, defining a landscape of steep coulees and riverine islands. On the Iowa side, the communities of Balltown and Old Balltown sit atop the high ridges of Jefferson township, overlooking the vast Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge. The lowlands are marked by a complex network of backwaters like McCartney Lake and several named landforms including Hurricane Island and Rosebrook Island.
