1976 Map of Dubuque
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The Mississippi River carves a deep path through this tri-state region, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by its rugged river bluffs and early industrial roots. In the mid-1970s, the terrain around Dubuque and Galena still bore the marks of its mining heritage, with labels noting numerous lead and zinc mines and specific sites like Lead and zinc (abandoned) workings near Shullsburg. The map reveals a dense network of major rail lines, including the Illinois Central and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific, which follow the river valleys and connect agricultural hubs like Cedar Rapids and Manchester. Conservation and history are prominent along the water, from the vast Upper Mississippi National Wildlife Refuge to the New Melleray Abbey Monastery south of the river, highlighting the region's spiritual and natural landmarks.
