1966 Map of Cascade

About this map

The North Fork Maquoketa River meanders across this landscape during the mid-1960s, anchoring the settlement of Cascade at the boundary of Dubuque and Jones counties. The town is depicted with its localized infrastructure, including a Sewage Disposal plant and nearby river crossings, while the surrounding rural townships of Cascade, Whitewater, and Richland are defined by an intricate network of section lines and farmstead locations. The survey captures the transition from natural landforms to an industrial-agricultural economy, evidenced by several Quarry sites and a Gravel Pit scattered across the uplands.
