1956 Map of Dubuque North

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Dubuque serves as the focal point of this riverfront survey, where the Mississippi River creates a complex landscape of islands and channels along the tri-state borders of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. The city’s institutional history is prominent, featuring Loras College, Clarke College, and the Mount St Bernard Seminary. The industrial and transport importance of the corridor is marked by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad lines and the Eagle Point Bridge, which connects the high bluffs of Iowa to the river flats. Outside the urban core, the terrain transitions into the steep coulees of the Couler Valley and the expansive Peru Bottoms. This mid-century view captures the transition of Dubuque's northern suburbs, including settlements like Sageville and Asbury, before the later expansion of the late 20th century, while preserving the location of numerous parochial schools such as Holy Ghost Sch and St Patricks Sch.
