About this map

The Mississippi River and its intricate network of side channels dominate this landscape along the Wisconsin and Iowa border. The river valley is defined by significant landmarks like Lake Winneshiek and Capoli Slough, while the eastern shore features the prominent bluffs of Mount Hope Ridge and Oak Ridge. Inland, the terrain is deeply carved by numerous ravines, including Hobbs Hollow and Kettle Hollow, which lead down toward the water.

Ferryville serves as the primary settlement on this reach of the river, situated where Main St meets the shoreline. Further south, Cold Spring Landing and Cold Spring Hollow represent smaller points of river access. The map captures the complex hydrology of the Upper Mississippi, including named features like Island Number One Hundred Fifty-Six and the mouth of Wexford Cr, reflecting a landscape defined by its relationship to the water and the steep river-bluff topography.
