About this map

The Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge dominates the eastern half of this 1960s landscape, illustrating the complex riverine geography of Woodruffs Island, Johnson Lake, and Swedes Lake. On the Iowa side, the city of Clinton anchors the southern edge, showing the Job Corps Center and St Irenaeus Sch as significant institutional landmarks.

Further inland, the rural character is defined by scattered settlements like Almont, Hauntown, and Andover, connected by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad and various stretches of Old Grade. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the townships of Hampshire and Spring Valley, including St Boniface Cem, Calvary Cemetery, and several family-named locations such as Smith Cem and Wilson Cem.
