About this map

The Mississippi River carves through this northern Dubuque landscape, defining a region where industrial riverfronts meet suburban expansion and deep ravine topography. To the north, Peru Bottoms and the drainage of the Little Maquoketa River highlight the floodplains that dictated early settlement patterns near Sageville and the Chicago Great Western RR corridor at Frith Spur. The map reveals the intricate network of hollows—including Plum Hollow, Bobs Hollow, and Boatyard Hollow—that cut into the bluffs overlooking Stumpf Island and Hamm Island.

Urban development is dense around the Fair Ground and the R C Wahlert Sports Complex, transitioning into residential neighborhoods and recreational spaces like the Bunker Hill Golf Course. The map captures the significant infrastructure of the Lake Peosta Channel and Dove Harbor, illustrating the city's modern connection to the river. Notable family and agricultural landmarks such as Wakendale Farms and the Four Mounds area provide specific points of interest for local history and genealogy research.
