1975 Map of Decorah 2 SW

About this map

Ridgeway anchors this 1970s orthophotoquad, which captures the rhythmic agricultural patterns of Winneshiek County through high-altitude aerial imagery. The landscape is defined by the strict geometry of Iowa's rural grid, where farmsteads and field boundaries follow section lines established over a century prior. This specific survey type replaces traditional topographic contours with a direct photographic record, providing researchers with an unfiltered view of field sizes, woodlots, and the structural density of the settlement at Ridgeway during the mid-seventies. It serves as a stark document of the region's land use before later consolidation changed the rural footprint.
