1975 Map of Decorah 1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Upper Iowa River winds significantly through the heart of this landscape, its tight oxbows and meanders defining the agricultural patterns of Winneshiek County during the mid-1970s. This orthophotoquad provides an aerial perspective of the terrain just east of the regional hub, centering on the settlement of Freeport. The imagery captures a moment when the river valley's bottomlands were intensely farmed, contrasting sharply with the wooded, steep bluffs and ridges that flank the waterway. The intricate network of rural roads and farmsteads recorded here by the Geological Survey shows the development of this riverfront community before later modernization and shifts in land use changed the rural character of the valley floor.
