About this map

Cassville sits along the northeastern bank of the Mississippi River in this 2018 survey, where the river's complex braided channels create a maze of islands and sloughs. The geography here is defined by significant elevation changes between the river valley and high ridges such as Hefel Ridge and Balltown Ridge. The map details the cross-river relationship between Wisconsin and Iowa, showing the settlements of North Buena Vista and Waupeton on the southwestern shore.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Saint Charles Cem, Buena Vista Cem, and Saint Paul Lutheran Cem. The rural landscape is marked by named hollows like Panther Hollow and Carney Hollow, while the river itself is dominated by large landforms such as Jack Oak Island and Sweezy Island. Modern infrastructure like the Cassville Municipal Airport and the winding Great River Rd illustrate how contemporary transportation follows the natural contours of the Driftless Area terrain.
