Mississippi River islands and bluffs define this 1935 survey along the tristate border area of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa. The industrial and transit hub of East Dubuque occupies the northern riverbank, where the Chicago Illinois Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks parallel the water’s edge. This transit corridor was essential for the movement of goods between the river valley and the interior plains, supporting the small settlements and rural school districts that dotted the uplands.
