About this map

Dallas City and Pontoosuc anchor the southern bank of the Mississippi River in this 2012 survey, where the river's braided channels create a complex landscape of islands like Grape Island and Peel Island. The northern reach is dominated by the Skunk River and its accompanying wetlands, including Skunk Slough and Patterson Lake. This area shows a distinct transition from the river-bottom lowlands to the elevated terrain of Jollyville Hill and The Ridge.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Beebe Cem, Terney Cem, Mohnike Cem, and Sourwine Cem. The map tracks the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the Spring Lake Campground near Patterson to the network of drainage ditches such as Rogers Ditch and Old Township Ditch that manage the fertile but low-lying fields between the major river systems.
