1981 Map of Cresco NE

About this map

Upper Iowa River meanders through the northern reaches of this landscape, carving a valley that separates the rural townships of Albion and Fremont from the Minnesota border. The topography here is defined by the incision of water, where drainage systems like Elliott Creek and Spring Creek feed into the primary river channel. At the turn of the 1980s, the southern portion of the quadrangle shows the steady growth of Cresco, featuring the Crestwood Jr High Sch, West Ward Sch, and the County Hosp.
