USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Mississippi River bluffs and the confluence of major waterways define this landscape in the mid-1950s. The settlement of Elsah sits at the river's edge, anchored by the expansive campus of Principia College. Across the water in Missouri, the town of Portage Des Sioux occupies the low-lying peninsula between the Mississippi and the Missouri River, a region characterized by a complex network of sloughs and islands like Pelican Island and Dresser Island.
