1974 Map of Bay City

About this map

Lake Pepin dominates the center of this mid-1970s survey, where the Mississippi River widens along the border of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The river's influence on the landscape is clear, from the Sawdust Bar and Pierce County Islands to the industrial and recreational sites lining the shores. Near Bay City, a Fish Hatchery and several sandpits reflect local industry, while the Burlington Northern railroad tracks follow the northern shoreline.
