The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this 1952 topographic study, where the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge blankets a complex system of islands and inlets. Along the shoreline, the settlements of Cordova and Port Byron serve as anchors for the local community, linked by the tracks of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. The landscape inland shifts toward agricultural and rural use, punctuated by local landmarks that reflect mid-century civic life.
