1956 Map of Dubuque North

About this map

The Mississippi River corridor dominates this mid-century view of Dubuque, where the tri-state borders of Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin meet along the water's edge. The industrial and educational heart of the city is well-defined, featuring prominent campuses such as Loras College, Clarke College, and Mount St Bernard Seminary. To the north, the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge covers the Peru Bottoms, showing a landscape of braided channels and islands including Stumpf Island and Hamm Island.
