1955 Map of Cassville

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a complex landscape of islands and sloughs along the Wisconsin-Iowa border, dominated by the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge. On the Wisconsin side, the town of Cassville is a focal point for transportation, served by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad and featuring a prominent Powerplant. Across the water in Iowa, the communities of North Buena Vista and Waupeton sit beneath high bluffs, connected by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific line.
