1956 Map of Dubuque North

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Mississippi River corridor dominates this survey, where the tri-state boundaries of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois converge. In the mid-1950s, the industrial and educational heart of Dubuque is visible through its dense concentration of institutions, including Loras College, Clarke College, and Mount St Bernard Seminary. The river's commercial utility is marked by the complex of Lock and Dam No 11 and the Eagle Point Bridge, while the vast Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge preserves the ecological character of the Peru Bottoms. Moving inland, the landscape shifts from the urban grid to the narrow drainages of Couler Valley and Union Park Hollow. Rural life is anchored by numerous neighborhood landmarks such as West Sageville Sch and the Derby Grange Sch, alongside spiritual centers like the St Francis Convent and Holy Ghost Sch.
