1953 Map of Blanchard Island

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this mid-century landscape, acting as the shifting border between Iowa and Illinois. The river is a complex network of side channels and islands, including Blanchard Island and Kilpeck Island, which are protected within the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge. The map reveals a highly engineered riparian environment where natural features like Bogus Slough and Coleman Slough coexist with extensive human interventions such as Hampton Ditch and Main Ditch.
